Unfortunately, those most affected by the earliest symptoms of a climate change are typically communities most reliant upon consistent weather and the least capable of coping when such patterns change — but still the world seems to dally in enacting legislation sufficient to combat it.

The 20 - year horizon is relevant to short - term impacts, such as changes in weather patterns; the 100 - year horizon applies to longer time - scale changes, such as sea - level rise; while 500 years represents the longest time - scale it is felt reasonable to consider given our current knowledge.

Recent work (e.g., Hurrell 1995, 1996; Thompson and Wallace 1998; Corti et al., 1999) has suggested that the observed warming over the last few decades may be manifest as a change in frequency of these naturally preferred patterns (Chapters 2 and 7) and there is now considerable interest in testing the ability of climate models to simulate such weather regimes (Chapter 8) and to see whether the greenhouse gas forced runs suggest shifts in the residence time or transitions between such regimes on long time - scales.

Changes in temperature and precipitation patterns increase the frequency, duration, and intensity of other extreme weather events, such as floods, droughts, heat waves, and tornadoes.

Climate change is the change in weather pattern due to natural, periodic and cyclical swings in temperatures such as the ice age which covers a much longer period of time usually for thousands of years.

While scientists have long stated that it is difficult to connect a single weather event — such as a single flood or drought — directly to climate change, the patterns of more frequent and severe weather worldwide is directly in line with climate change expectations.
