Question

I hear people say bizarre things like, “It snowed more this year. There’s no global warming”.

Answer 1

The title appears to be something different from the text.

Weather is day-to-day stuff while climate is more overall trends. The weather tomorrow might be cold, or hot, but the climate would describe how hot or cold or windy or inconsistent the weather is over a longer period.

Florida has a hot climate but it can still experience cold weather.
