  1. Climate can be accuratly predicted 100's of years from now.  Computer models show us exactly what the temperatures are going to be many years from now, and are always right.

    Weather is the stuff we can actually measure.  No one can predict the weather.  We have no idea what the weather will be next month.

    If it can be measured, it's weather.  Climate is always right.


  2. Climate is weather averaged over the long haul.

    Unless you can predict the next supervolcano or large meteor strike, it is difficult to predict future climate.

    What I would like to know from you, is where there is any evidence the average global temperature today is outside normal variance.

  3. Weather -  What is going on out side today at this moment

    Climate -  the usual weather ( see answer from above)  for a certain area of the earth.

  4. Weather - The day to day changes of any given location on the planet.

    Climate - Is the overall description of each region - Minnesota has a moderate moist climate where Nevada has a warm dry climate.

    This is why I asked a question about what the Global Climate is considered to be, since you have so many different climates on Earth.

  5. Mikira has the definition you ask for.But you don't have to make the rest complicated.There are 12 formulas for STP if you have 2 given (pressure),(temp)you can solve for the third using basic high school algebra.Or you can do the conversion of moles and joules using a elemental chart.The real problem your going to have is describing just what is a standard temperature .Hence so many formulas,and these are restricted basically to simulation.
