How Is Climate Change Different From Global Warming?
From nature we see that there is an overall change in climate, not only global warming. Trends demonstrate that the world is generally warming, however, some places will get more precipitation and some will get less. There is variability in the effects of weather around the world that does not only include warming. In Kenya there will be a lot less precipitation, whereas, in New York, we can expect more rain, more humidity, and hotter days.
