My bad, according to the etymology dictionary the word climatology has been around since 1843.
My bad, according to the etymology dictionary the word climatology has been around since 1843. climate 
1375, from O.Fr. climat, from L. clima (gen. climatis) "region, slope of the Earth," from Gk. klima "region, zone," from base of klinein "to slope," thus "slope of the Earth from equator to pole," from PIE base *klei- "to lean" (see lean
(v.)). Angle of sun on the slope defined the zones assigned by early
geographers. Meaning moved from "region" to "weather associated with
that region" by c.1600. Climatology first recorded 1843.
Although I still think it has been recently resurrected to remove the stigma of it's associated science of metrology & bad predictions. It is interesting that in the Wikipedia that most of the so-called famous climatologists were meteorologists in their short bios. They even include Benjamin Franklin in there somewhere!1375, from O.Fr. climat, from L. clima (gen. climatis) "region, slope of the Earth," from Gk. klima "region, zone," from base of klinein "to slope," thus "slope of the Earth from equator to pole," from PIE base *klei- "to lean" (see lean

The distinction was recently made so that incompetant scientists & those who want to politicize the issue can push the proof out a hundred years or so so they won't be around when their theories all turn to mush.
There is no truth in that statement. This distinction has been around for a long time.
Really, how long - can you document this ? I don't remember anything at school besides meterology.

i can't wait till i find a cartoon that pokes fun at people who can't distinguish between weather and climate. 50% of the global warming backlash could be eliminated if people would just learn that simple distinction.

Algore made predictions in his book for a ~10 year holocaust which should have been here now. Was he a climatologist or a weather predicter. The same forces that produce the weather also produce the climate. Somehow climatologists don't have to follow the Scientific Method? Are they above approach & ridicule ? My fondest question is where does the climatologist stick the thermometer ? It is a rather large Earth. What is the margin of error in using 1000+ thermometers all of which do not register or report on a single day. But, then, if you have chosen sides you will ignore such a global conundrum.

Bizarrely, the actual report will be retained for another three months to facilitate editing -- to suit the summary! IPCC procedures state that: Changes (other than grammatical or minor editorial changes) made after acceptance by the Working Group or the Panel shall be those necessary to ensure consistency with the Summary for Policymakers or the Overview Chapter (Appendix A to the Principles Governing IPCC Work, p4/15) -- this is surely unacceptable and would not be tolerated in virtually any other field (witness the media frenzy because language was allegedly altered in some US climate reports).

If you keep looking at weather fluctuations, then you will never see the climate trends.

Well, then it is still all about physics, chemistry, mathematics, geology & astronomy isn't it? I would still like a job where I get paid for predictions that may (or not) come true after I am dead!
You will probably see indisputable evidence of this change before the end of your life. I am googling recipes for crow as we speak.

"Infinite time means everything that can happen, will. You being you is absolutely incidental. You do not exist."
From a Zen master like Allen Watts you can also get that you do not exist 
. Me i don't haf to exist ... i just do ... relative to myself ... relative to my social, physical, and mental environment .... not relative to infinity ... not relative to the entire universe. But i can also think ahead ... me likes to live in such a world where people think ahead ... even past their own death ... after all i am here past other people's deaths ... i stand on their work ... as others may stand on mine ... unless, of course, my effect is pickyune ... is not effectual ... so point is try not to be pickyune. And that is how i deal with your slashdot cognitive dissonance.

It's related in the sense of motivating you to think about your actions now which will have affect long after you are dead. Iow, what kind of climate are your actions producing for the next generation. If you take the view that your acctions are absolutely incidental, then it is hard to justify extra work now to avoid disaster in the 21st century.

Unfortunately common sense did not evolve to solve problems of this nature. It evolved to solve problems that are scaled to the size of one humans hands and eyes. For example try solving a problem in quantum physics with what you call "common sense"

Nope, no such implication makes any sense. Your term "problems of nature" is a misdirection. This is a situation caused by human activity and it will be solved by human activity.

That's what I mean by no common sense. The Sun is the source of warming & cooling over the millenia (since the Earth was an Earth). The amount of warming in the last hundred years where real measuring devices were used has only shown a small amount within the margin of error of measurements - media brainwashing & 6006 notwithstanding.

Where is your documentation on that? The graph that convinced me of the error of your position was the one that showed the simulation over a long period of time using only known natural causes ... then another one that showed the same period using only man made causes ... neither of those graphs tracked the actual measurements very closely. But once you combined the two causes the simulation tracked the actual very closely. If you promise not to rubber duck me on this and to delve into the science i will go find that information for you. Otherwise i will continue to go with the climate scientists and disregard your unsubstantuated grumblings above.

Your funny ... like i said "air conditioners are causing co2" ... ... but air conditioning would make a great application for the technology. Point is you need something for the machine to do except just suck up CO2. If it does something otherwise useful it will pay for installing itself. Otherwise you need some uh hum ... governmental agency to pay for it.
