Why is climate different from weather?
You check the weather app every morning. Sunny? Rainy? Snowy? That's weather — what's happening outside RIGHT NOW. But then someone says, "The climate is changing," and you think, wait, aren't those the same thing? Nope. Weather and climate are cousins, not twins, and the difference matters more than you might think.
Weather is your mood right now. Happy? Angry? Tired? That's this exact moment. Climate is your personality — the pattern of who you are over months and years. You might feel grumpy on Tuesday, but if you're cheerful most of the time, "cheerful" is your personality. Weather is Tuesday. Climate is the whole you.
