When we talk of climate change, we mostly refer to changes in climate variable such as temperature, rainfall, humidity, wind speed etc. If that is the case why do some studies assess farmers perception on climate change with variables such as flood, drought pest and diseases ect. Are these variables not actually the impact of climate change of they are really climate change? I need more clarification on this issue.

Climate change refers to the increasing changes in the measures of climate over long period of time -- including precipitation, temperature, and wind patterns. The term impact of climate will include a decrease in sea ice, and an increase in permfrost thawing, an increase in heat waves and very heavy precipitation, and decrease water resources in semi - arid regions For more details consult https://www.usgs.gov
Climate change scenarios predict, in general, higher frequency in periods of drought and an increase in intense rainfall. This is especially harmful for agriculture. But not only this. The increase in temperatures and the decrease in rainfall in temperate zones, will motivate the movement of plant and animal species from tropical areas to these places, which will mean an increase in invasive species and with them, pests that previously did not affect those areas.
Peter, look!
A few years ago i had a discussion with my professor at the Biodiversity's program (Federal University of Amapá) about it. For me climate changes occurs, naturally, because it is a natural phenomena. Greenhouse effect, for example, occurs for many, many years ago affecting the climate. Therefore, it is a cause-effect relation. Only there will be impact of climate change wheter climate chances (with all variables tha you cited above) were affected by natural phenomena.
Climate change refers to increasing at least 10 years.
About impact of climate change is manifest of Climate change with extreme weather event, what occur suddenly like: heavy rain, storm, tsunami...
( If the things always appear within 10 years (at least), so we can call it's climate change )
climate change refers to the change to the climate system such as average temperature over long time, rainfall, etc. climate change impacts refers to the results / consequences of these change, e.g. that cyclones become more intense, low lying areas get submerged by water, corals die, etc........
