Umm...
Gore was all over the place recently talking about it. Testifying before congress, specifically about global changes to agriculture with increased climate change.

Weather = Local meteorological conditions. I.e. what Tony Petraca reports on


Climate (as defined by the IPCC): Climate in a narrow sense is usually defined as the “average weather”, or more rigorously, as the statistical description in terms of the mean and variability of relevant quantities over a period of time ranging from months to thousands or millions of years. The classical period is 30 years, as defined by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). These quantities are most often surface variables such as temperature, precipitation, and wind. Climate in a wider sense is the state, including a statistical description, of the climate system


Don't let one cold or warm day fool you. Then again it is just a liberal conspiracy of a bunch of crunchy scientists..

Additionally, there is way more to it than 'warming'. Better term is climate change
