Atmospheric
scientists
investigating
the
possibility
that
human
influences
are
changing
the
Earth's
climate
confront
a
significant
problem
-
how
do
we
actually
detect
climate
change?
As
they
participate
in
this
classroom
activity,
students
will
develop
the
understanding
that
long-term
climate
averages
are
the
result
of
significant
annual
climate
variability
and
that
random
climate
variability

Climate
is
generally
defined
as
average
weather
over
a
long
period
of
time.
A
place
or
region's
climate
is
determined
by
both
natural
and
human-induced
factors.
Students
can
read
an
overview
of
Earth's
climate
and
participate
in
activities
which
explain
the
following
concepts:
distinctions
between
weather
and
climate,
variability
of
daily
weather
measurements
compared
to
long-term
climate
data,
how
