One consistant observation noted when climate change debates break out is the use of weather by the opposition, (or deniers) as “evidence” that global warming (more accurately climate change) is not real.

Below is a simply visual by Ole Christoffer Haga which illustrates the difference between these two terms often used interchangeably albeit inaccurately.
