Weather Events vs. Climate Trends: Know the Difference

In this video, Linnea Lueken breaks down the often-misunderstood distinction between weather and climate. With media outlets and climate activists frequently misusing the terms interchangeably, this quick fact check aims to arm viewers with clear definitions to spot misleading claims about so-called "climate disasters."

Weather is what we experience daily—sunshine, rain, storms—while climate is a long-term average over decades. Linnea highlights how cherry-picking extreme weather events to "prove" climate change misrepresents the data. In fact, long-term trends show little to no increase in storm frequency or intensity despite modest warming. So why are we told every storm is a sign of climate catastrophe?
