Climate Change and Its Impacts“Don’t like the weather? Just wait five minutes!” It’s a joke that weathers well because the weather is always changing. Climate change, however, refers to changes in the Earth’s climate over long periods of time — 30 years and more — by measuring such factors as temperature, precipitation, humidity and atmospheric pressure and determining the average conditions, range of conditions and trends.
