It affects more than just a change in the weather and refers to seasonal changes over a long period of time. These climate patterns play a fundamental role in shaping natural ecosystems, and the human economies and cultures that depend on them.

It may be used inter-changably with global warming as they’re closely related. Global warming causes climates to change. Here is NASA discussion on the two terms, What's In A Name?

Témoins du climat - 7 milliards d'Autres

Uploaded on Dec 5, 2009

In 2003, following "Earth From Above," Yann Arthus-Bertrand, with Sibylle d'Orgeval and Baptiste Rouget-Luchaire, launched the 7 Billion Others project. Twenty directors filmed 6,000 interviews in 84 countries, asking people—from a Brazilian fisherman to a Chinese shopkeeper, a German artist to an Afghan farmer—the same questions about their fears, dreams, trials, and hopes. Questions included: "What have you learned from your parents?", "What do you wish to pass on to your children?", "What trials have you faced?", and "What does love mean to you?"
