climate change

Change in the climate of an area or of the whole world over an appreciable period of time. That is, a single winter that is colder than average does not indicate climate change. It is the change in average weather conditions from one period of time (30-50 years) to the next. Climate fluctuations are natural phenomena, but there is increasing evidence to suggest that human industrial activity affects the global climate, particularly in terms of global warming.
