Global winds are primarily driven by the uneven heating of the Earth's surface by the sun, causing large-scale circulation patterns, such as the trade winds and westerlies, that occur over long distances. In contrast, local winds are influenced by smaller-scale factors, such as topography, land-sea temperature differences, and the varying heat capacities of different surfaces. For example, sea breezes and land breezes result from temperature differences between land and water on a daily basis. Thus, while global winds are consistent and predictable, local winds can vary significantly and change quickly.
Global can affect anyone in the world while local is just in your area.
Geographers use three levels—local, regional, and global—to analyze and understand the world. At the local level, geographers focus on specific places and their characteristics. At the regional level, they study larger areas with shared characteristics or patterns. And at the global level, geographers examine the interconnectedness of places and how processes operate on a worldwide scale.
Nutrient cycles occur on a local level through biota. They are also processed on a global level. However the geological processes in which they develop are, erosion, weathering, and atmospheric circulation.
Events and trends on local, national, and global spheres are interrelated through the interconnectedness of economies, cultures, and technologies. For example, a local environmental initiative can gain national attention and influence global climate policy, while global economic shifts can affect local job markets. Social media amplifies local movements, allowing them to resonate on national and international levels. This interplay illustrates how localized actions can have far-reaching implications across different scales.
All humans are causing global warming if they drive cars and use electricity, because most of our cars burn fossil fuel, and most of our electricity is generated by burning fossil fuel. All this burning puts carbon dioxide into the atmosphere which is causing global warming.
Global can affect anyone in the world while local is just in your area.
Global would be advertising in many different countries, while Local advertising would be in a certain city or district.
"The global state of a distributed computation is the set of local states of all individual processes involved in the computation plus the state of the communication channels."

Global winds are local winds.
True, a variable cannot be both global and local. But if a global and a local variable share the same name, the local one will hide the global.
