Climate is not weather, though this is a misconception.
Weather deals with the stochastic fluctuations occurring throughout the atmosphere generally on a day-to-day basis. These are predicted using weather models governed by equations that can effectively describe the atmosphere at these scales. Meteorologists are quite good at predicting the weather a few days in advance, but not so much beyond a week, as you know.
Climatologists are not interested in making a prediction for one particular day 10 years in the future; you will never see that. Climatologists are only interested in average weather over much longer time scales, and the key difference here is that at these scales, the atmosphere is governed by very different processes. Climatologists are not interested in small-scale eddies in the atmosphere, diurnal fluctuations, local-scale convection, etc., and meteorologists are. These are not processes that can be modeled and predicted very far in advance anyway.
Of primary importance to us is the Earth's global radiation budget, which means looking at variables such as how much energy is coming into the system from the sun, how much is escaping back to space, and how that radiation behaves when it passes through the atmosphere at its different wavelengths. How much is reflected, transmitted, scattered, and absorbed? The precision to which we must know this is not the same as that of the atmospheric scientist, where small differences will balloon into huge errors in only a few days time.
The oceans are also very important to climate, whereas they are not nearly as important in weather forecasting (depending on where you are of course). And oceans have "memories" that last thousands of years. Same with ice sheets, which change very slowly. But at our timescales, these changes are very important and are also capable of being incorporated into our models. Meteorologists do not care about melting ice because it occurs far too slowly to make a difference.
Another example is with greenhouse gases and the cycles they participate in between the land surface and the atmosphere. With an understanding of exactly how each greenhouse gas behaves in the atmosphere as far as how much extra radiation it absorbs, we can tell predict how much different levels in the atmosphere in the future will affect future temperatures. The trickier part is predicting this as a part of the cycles in which they participate and the feedbacks that are involved. Again, meteorologists have no interest in this because the timescale of change is too long.
So given our understanding of things like the radiation balance, the ocean circulation, the ice sheets, and biogeochemical cycles and greenhouse gases, we can input these variables into our climate models and predict generally how the Earth will respond well into the future. It's true that we don't have a perfect understanding of how all of these processes will come together, and we wish we had more observations and more computing power to model this on a smaller grid, but the models are pretty good given all these circumstances.
The common idea is that a warmer climate means that there will be more energy to power violent storms such as tornadoes. This view is grossly oversimplified. Weather and climate are very complex and difficult to predict. Scientists are still uncertain how climate change might affect tornadoes.
Climate and weather are different things that are predicted differently due to the timescale. Weather prediction focuses on dynamics of the atmosphere down to very small scales - even turbulent eddies in the air. Climate prediction doesn't incorporate that because it averages out - this type of prediction is much more concerned with the radiation balance of the planet, for example, as well as feedbacks that accumulate over time within the system, which would never be a concern to weather forecasters.
Yes, climate change occurs over long periods of time, while weather changes can happen within short time frames. Climate change refers to the long-term changes in average temperature and weather patterns, while weather describes the short-term variations in temperature, precipitation, and atmospheric conditions.
It is possible, but we cannot predict with certainty. Weather patterns can vary from year to year, and factors such as the polar vortex, ocean temperatures, and climate change can influence the severity of winter in Georgia. It's best to stay informed by checking with local meteorologists for more accurate and up-to-date information.

Scientists predict that climate change will lead to "weather events" that are more frequent and more severe.
They use actual data gathered from previous weather patterns, temperatures and other information.

it changes by how the weather is outside. Weather is what changes the climate in the sea
Understanding weather and climate patterns is important because it helps us predict and prepare for natural disasters such as hurricanes, floods, and droughts. It also aids in sustainable decision-making related to agriculture, water resource management, and urban planning. Additionally, knowledge of weather and climate patterns is crucial for studying the impacts of climate change and developing strategies to mitigate its effects.

it means weather change basically
weather
Climate change is giving extra energy to storms and other weather events.
Weather refers to the atmospheric conditions in an area at any given time. Climate change is a shift in the long-term trends in the weather, over the course of decades or more.

No, the climate stays the same but the weather changes with the seasons.
