You sound like Lex Luthor. His scheme didn't work either.

Why would Webster choose 'years' for a climate? Other dictionaries choose other times, or don't choose a time interval at all!

This is correct. It's not like I did an exhaustive search or anything, but here's a sampling of what I found after a quick internet search:

https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/...nglish/climate
Cambridge: no time interval mentioned

https://www.lexico.com/en/definition/climate
Lexico: "over a long period" (Google also displays this particular definition (slightly altering some of the words, but they still copied from this one) in their "dictionary" box after searching for the definition of the term)

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/climate
Merriam Webster: "usually over a period of years"

https://www.dictionary.com/browse/climate
Dictionary.com: "throughout the year, averaged over a series of years"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate
Wikipedia: "over a period of 30 years"

https://www.thefreedictionary.com/climate
The Free Dictionary: no time interval mentioned

You're clearly a dummy. Fuck off.

What... Didn't like his question very much??

You're clearly a dummy. Fuck off.

Answer the questions put to you.

Let's take your definition of 'climate' as 'weather in a region over a long time'. How long is 'a long time'? Seconds? Days? Months? Years? Centuries? Millennia? Longer? And how big is a 'region'? The size of a room? A house? A block? A neighborhood? A town? A city? A county? A nation? A continent? A hemisphere? A world? How do you describe the weather over any of these regions?

Define 'climate change'.

If immigration gets their panties in a twist now, they had better stock up on tranquilizers for the coming climate change massive migration.

I never realized just HOW dumb many Americans were until the Internet exposed them and a-hole sociopaths like Trump gave them a platform on which to jump on after crawling out from under their slimy rocks.

Define 'climate change'. Why would people massively migrate over a phrase that has no meaning?

What... Didn't like his question very much??

Didn't you find it stupid ? If not- YOU reply to the dullard. It would be appreciated, I'm sure, by any other addlepates that don't know the difference between ' climate ' and ' weather '.


" Good morning, George. What's the climate like today ? "

" Oh, pretty much like it's been for the past epoch, Mavis . Some small variations- but nothing for dinosaurs to get excited about "

Haw, haw............haw.

[Into the Night]

Oh? Then what is 'climate', according to you?

Be embarrassed...and not even because you do not know the difference...

Inversion fallacy. It is YOU that does not know the difference. You are evading the question. Answer the question.

bur rather because you did not bother to research the facts after the OP made the statement.

Void argument fallacy.

Google is your friend.

I don't use Google. It is not my friend. I use a different search engine. It's faster. Answer the question put to you. Stop evading.

And quite frankly, your ignorance on the subject is ubiquitous amongst clueless climate deniers on the right

Inversion fallacy. Obviously, you can't answer the question put to you.

so how could you not have come across this very issue of the difference between climate and weather and the explanation long before now?

No, that is YOU, apparently. Answer the fucking question. Stop evading.

A great example of how dictionaries do not define any word. They even conflict with each other!

Dictionaries do not define words. That is not their purpose. No dictionary owns any word.

Dictionaries are used to standardize spelling and pronunciation, and provide suggestions for how a word is used; but no dictionary defines any word.

Answer the questions put to you. Stop evading. All you are showing is that you do not have an answer for them.

Seems all you want to do is evade. Since you apparently cannot answer the question put to you, I must therefore conclude:

* You do not know the difference between 'climate' and 'weather'.
* You do not know the time interval used for 'climate'.
* You are unable to quantify 'climate'.
* You have no definition for 'climate change'. Therefore, you worship that which has no meaning or definition. That THAT's hilarious!

Well- you go ahead and amuse yourself, chummy- ' cause there's fuck-all else going for you. Haw, haw...............haw.

[gfm7175]

Didn't you find it stupid ?

Not at all. I thought that it was a very good question. It highlights the vagueness and subjectiveness of the terminology being used. What you might consider to be "a long time", I might consider to be a rather short period of time. I also might find, say, 'five years' to be "a long time" in one instance, but "a short time" in another instance (perspective).

"Five years" is something that holds a specific and constant meaning. "A long time" means different things for each person (for each circumstance, for each perspective, etc).

If not- YOU reply to the dullard.

I don't have a response to his questioning, as I'd be asking those same questions myself; YOU are the one talking about "climate change" and "regions" and "long periods of time"... I would simply want to know WTF you're even trying to express... YOU are the one who needs to answer those questions.

It would be appreciated, I'm sure, by any other addlepates that don't know the difference between ' climate ' and ' weather '.

Inversion Fallacy. It is YOU who doesn't know the difference.
