Comment What is the definition of "Climate Change" (Score 1) 195

Here's the IPCC's definition of climate change from http://www.thegwpf.org/ipcc-introduces-new-climate-change-definition/

"Climate Change: A change in the state of the climate that can be identified (e.g., by using statistical tests) by changes in the mean and/or the variability of its properties and that persists for an extended period, typically decades or longer. Climate change may be due to natural internal processes or external forcings, or to persistent anthropogenic changes in the composition of the atmosphere or in land use."

Hasn't that been happening on Earth for at least 4.5 billion years (or 10,000 years for those Global Warming believers)?

Yes, the climate is changing; it's always changing. So how is that a thing?

The first sentence of the definition says that climate change is the status quo. The second sentence says it may attributed to anything, right?
