Select the correct terms: (Climate / Weather) is the short-term atmospheric conditions in an area, while (climate / weather) is the average atmospheric conditions in a given area over a long period of time. (Climate change / Global warming) consists of the long-term and largescale changes in atmospheric conditions, which have been brought about by (climate change / global warming), an increase in the average global temperature.
