Short-term climate fluctuations are not caused by long-term climate change trends or anthropogenic factors, such as greenhouse gas emissions. Instead, they are often the result of natural phenomena like El Niño and La Niña events, which can lead to temporary changes in weather patterns. Additionally, short-term fluctuations can be influenced by atmospheric conditions, ocean currents, and volcanic activity, all of which operate on much shorter time scales than the broader climate system.
Short-term climate fluctuations are not caused by long-term climate change processes, such as shifts in Earth's orbital patterns or tectonic plate movements. Instead, they are typically influenced by immediate factors like atmospheric conditions, ocean currents, and events such as El Niño or La Niña. These fluctuations can lead to temporary changes in weather patterns, but they do not alter the overarching climate trends established over longer periods.
Peace between India and Bangladesh... sort of. Climate change has caused the sea levels in the Bay of Bengal to rise so much that the water has submerged several islands off the coast of India and Bangladesh including the much disputed New Moore Island which, thanks to climate change, is no more. Hence, India and Bangladesh no longer have to fight over who owns it. see link below
In the longest term changes in climate are caused by changes in the sun's output. Over shorter terms there are many different causes.
Habitats are described by their climate rather than their weather because climate represents the long-term patterns and averages of temperature, precipitation, and other atmospheric conditions in a region. This long-term perspective is crucial for understanding the ecosystems and species that thrive in those environments, as they have adapted to consistent climatic conditions over time. Weather, on the other hand, refers to short-term fluctuations and can vary dramatically from day to day, making it less relevant for defining the stable characteristics of a habitat.
The minimum time scale used by climate scientists is five years. This is why most of their data is represented by seasonal measurements (to indicate the extent of noise) and a five year running average to chart climate trends. Natural climate change during most of the Cenozoic has occurred over a hundred thousand year cycle known as the Milankovich Cycle. This has been earth's primary driver of climate for many millions of years.

Factors for short-term climate variations include seasonal changes, weather patterns, and natural events like volcanic eruptions. These factors can influence short-term weather patterns and temperature fluctuations over periods ranging from a few weeks to a few years.
Short-term climate changes are typically caused by natural factors such as volcanic eruptions, solar radiation variability, and ocean currents. However, human activities like deforestation and burning fossil fuels can also contribute to short-term climate variability.
Overtime
If we define short-term climate change as limited to around one year, then El Nino and La Nina are the factors that affect (and effect) it. Long-term climate change happens over thousands of years, because of many factors like the strength of the sun, the tilt of our planet, the movement of the earth's orbit. Long-term climate change is also happening very quickly now because of global warming, but the effects will last a long time.
Short term changes in my environment may include fluctuations in temperature and weather conditions, while long term changes could involve shifts in vegetation patterns or changes in ecosystems due to climate change. Both short term and long term changes can impact the overall health and stability of the environment.
Short term changes in climate on Earth may be related to natural factors such as volcanic eruptions, solar radiation, and ocean currents, as well as human activities like deforestation, agriculture, and burning of fossil fuels that release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. These factors can influence short term fluctuations in temperature, precipitation patterns, and extreme weather events.
Yes, climate refers to the average weather patterns in a region over an extended period, typically 30 years or more. It includes factors like temperature, humidity, precipitation, wind patterns, and more.
Weather refers to short-term atmospheric conditions in a specific place at a specific time, while climate refers to long-term patterns of temperature, humidity, wind, and precipitation in a region over time. The greenhouse effect influences both weather and climate by trapping heat in the Earth's atmosphere, leading to global warming.

A climatologist examines the changes in the climate and endeavor to predict long term forecasts. Climatologists are unlike meteorologists who study climate changes in the short term.
