Weather, climate and the enhanced greenhouse effect

Weather, climate and the enhanced greenhouse effect

Enhanced greenhouse effect diagram showing incoming short-wave radiation, outgoing infrared, greenhouse gases, and human sources such as fossil fuel burning and deforestation Weather is the short-term state of the atmosphere, such as today's temperature, rainfall and wind. Climate is the long-term pattern of weather in a region, usually described over at least 30 years, so one hot day or one cold winter is not enough to prove climate change.
