Climate change Climate change is a significant and lasting change in the statistical distribution of weather patterns over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. It may be a change in average weather conditions or the distribution of events around that average (e.g.‚ more or fewer extreme weather events). Climate change may be limited to a specific region or may occur across the whole Earth‚ such as global warming. Terminology The most general definition of climate change is a change
