Note: if you’re wondering how scientists can predict climate change but not weather, consider that climate is the average condition, while weather is the actual condition. This pattern is quite common in everyday life. While we can predict that your life expectancy (average condition) will be longer than your grandparents, we cannot predict exactly when you will die (actual condition). Similarly, we cannot predict the exact temperature in New York City on January 1, 2030 (actual condition), but we can say that it will probably be colder than it is on July 1, 2030 (average condition). 25-1. pixabay (public domain)
