Have noticed that several events are being linked to climate changes including global warming but scientifically they are not.
Do have precise knowledge about the events which can be connected to and NOT connected to climate change, including global warming. Would appreciate if any one differentiate it by listing the names.
Also, do you think that we have adequate findings to support or dispel the events which are connected and NOT connected to climate change? How important is to differentiate it?
It is well known that climate change including global warming is attached to social and economic conditions around the world. For example -increased water vapor in the atmosphere, glaciers and polar ice caps appear to be melting, floods and droughts are becoming more severe, and sea levels have risen, on average, between 4 and 10 inches since 1990. These are indeed adequately connected to climate change and among those not well connected are Tsunami, volcanoes. ….. etc.
I feel my point in starting ongoing discussion is quite evident from “Is it becoming increasingly important….”
Means, if we can adequately distinguish it then why the precise message is not been sent to the society we live. Is it because of lacuna in the information flow associated with the awareness? In the line, I feel we should distinguish the events precisely and let aware the society we live.
Many times in news media cum day to day happenings, we might have heard misrepresentation in handling the events announcement. I recall my interviews on climate change given (in 2009) to Times of India and DNA leading newspaper of India where I emphasis on awareness by spreading knowledge on climate change.
Keeping in mind the deleterious impacts (ref.: more details may be read from my answer section at RG) of climate change, it is highly important that society we live must be given such information. Seeing the importance of topic I will soon open a discussion on awareness towards the events connected and not connected to climate change soon.
Cheers!

I believe that accurate communication of the material being discussed at any event is important. I suppose this might get into things like discussing LID development strategies, which are largely due to the threats of climate change, but do not directly discuss the science and methods of studying climate change. That is not so difficult a distinction to make.
Colin Tilbrook,
“.....I believe that accurate communication of the material being discussed at any event is important...”
I agree with you and seems it is because of exiting lacunas in the information flow to create awareness. In many times these events are presented without specific knowledge (here specifically, I am taking about the part of the society not working in the field). In the line, I feel, it is great need to distinguish the events precisely and let aware the society we live.
Cheers!
Vaid, B. H.
Dear Naushad,
Seems your statement “In this world everything is connected with climate change…” has great philosophical aspect. I liked your profound philosophical thinking!
BUT you may agree that event or happening could be connected or not connected to climate change depends mainly on the scientific facts and records. That is why there is a potential need to differentiate it explicitly and aware the society we live in.
Yes, I agree with you that the sustainable framework (an incessant constructive growth) is the optimum way to reduce an unfavorable deeds and increase the favorable deeds of human contribution towards curbing carbon..
Cheers!
Yes Naushad, health is also increasingly becoming an important issue under the umbrella of Climate Change.
Global warming mainly caused by air pollution
green house gases trap atmospheric temperature so global warming happened
Which affect atmospheric air circulation and ocean circulation
Due to this monsoon seasons varied and move from regular place to other places
So it leads
Flood
Drought
Sea level rise
Finally it conlude climate change

I liked your constructive thinking which goes into the statement.
BUT point is that events or happenings could be connected or not connected to climate change chiefly depends on the scientific facts and findings. That is why there is a potential need to differentiate it explicitly and aware the society we live in.
Cheers!
Naushad,
“..Thanks B.H Vaid for good comments”
Thanks. I really felt glad to respond to your interesting views. Let’s keep sharing!
Cheers!
temperature + precipitation = climate
from air pollution = climate change
from air pollution + climate change = health change
from climate change + precipitation quantity = economy change
consequences: flood, sea level rise...
The science behind the increase in temperature (that causes the change in climate ) is extremely easy to understand. However, since weather is not taught at schools any longer (especially now that it is needed) people generally think climate is beyond their grasp and a full mystery.
I have done my part explaining to university students, now even to small children. Nobody has any problem understanding it.
No wonder teenagers are ready to fight to make governments change their policies.
Really appreciate your enormous contribution, Michael Issigonis . Yes, agree with you, that providing timely awareness of the change essentially to teenagers can make a certain constructive differences. Thanks for sharing!
Yes, I also often do so. In my recent visit to India also, I got a pleasure to give several invited talks on the topics to renowned institutes there. Felt ecstatic to share that teenagers really appreciated the concomitant knowledge of the topic and indeed got excited to know in the ongoing ontogeny in the policies to handle climate related issues. Certainly, in the time to come teenagers will also be prove as a right force to fight and insist the governments to change the climate policies into a constructively way.
