Climate is the statistics of weather, usually over a 30-year interval. It is measured by assessing the patterns of variation in temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, wind, precipitation, atmospheric particle count and other meteorological variables in a given region over long periods of time.
Climate change is a long-term problem that has been unfold-. ing over many decades. It is likely to lead not only to changes in. the mean levels of temperatures and rainfall, but also to a signifi-. cant increase in the variability of climate and in the frequency of. extreme events. Given the complexities involved in an analysis of. the climate change impacts on poverty, different approaches may. be helpful in considering these impacts. One way is to use econo-. mywide growth models incorporating climate change impacts to. work out consistent scenarios for how climate change might af-.
