global climate
Worldwide weather patterns
Global climate refers to Earth's overall weather patterns and atmospheric conditions averaged across the entire planet over extended periods—typically decades or longer.
It encompasses temperature, precipitation, wind patterns, and other meteorological factors considered collectively rather than locally.
Global climate has warmed significantly since the industrial revolution.
The term often appears in discussions of climate change and environmental policy.
