Hours and days
The fastest clock
Weather is what you walk out into: rain now, hard sun by noon.
Three decades at the least
The slowest clock
A climate is the pattern a region settles into over a very long stretch.

Concentrated, or spread thin

Climate disasters, and the climate that is changing
Cyclones, floods, landslides and forest fires each have a natural part and a human part. Since the nineteenth century human activity has driven climate change, and early 2025 ran 1 to 3 degrees above normal in India. Mit…
