Climate - the average (statistically, mean and variability) weather, usually over a 30-year interval. It is measured by assessing the patterns of variation in temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, wind, precipitation, atmospheric particle count and other meteorological variables in a given region over long periods of time. Climate is different from weather, in that weather only describes the short-term conditions of these variables in a given region. Wikipedia: climate
Climate change - a change in the statistical distribution of weather patterns when that change lasts for an extended period of time (i.e., decades to millions of years). Climate change may refer to a change in average weather conditions, or in the time variation of weather around longer-term average conditions (i.e., more or fewer extreme weather events). Climate change is caused by factors such as biotic processes, variations in solar radiation received by Earth, plate tectonics, and volcanic eruptions. Certain human activities have also been identified as significant causes of recent climate change, often referred to as "global warming". Wikipedia: climate change

Extreme wealth has a deadening effect on the super-rich – and that threatens us all | George Monbiot

Are there major climate protests nowadays?
I really notice that there are no major protests for a more livable climate on earth. Around the world huge crowds ( sometimes up to 500,000 people) gather when there is a political scandal, why not for climate? We need a lot of people to come together and express their dissatisfaction with the huge amount of carbon emissions, obviously it doesn't solve everything, but it is a zero step. It would be so fantastic to have a huge protest, I'm not rich but I would travel to any place in the world if there was a huge protest. The only thing I see is a few idiots splattering mona lisa or blocking traffic, we need to demonstrate strength with the masses and our voices. Do you know of any such demonstrations? Seriously I will organize it myself, it is the minimum besides living environmentally conscious, a loud demonstration with loud speeches, calls for boycott, music. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't see much in the way of major demonstrations. Opinion on a demonstration that would invite people from all over the world?
