The confusion might come from 2 different interpretations of the word 'climate'. The difference is quite well explained here:
Quick facts, basic science, and information about snow, ice, and why the cryosphere matters The cryosphere includes all of the snow and ice-covered regions across the planet.

We're talking about "EARTH CLIMATE" here, Jason!
Yep, that's exactly the same link I already supplied probably five times now, along with this quote taken directly from the paper, near the top:
"What is the difference between weather and climate?
Weather is the day-to-day state of the atmosphere, and its short-term variation in minutes to weeks. People generally think of weather as the combination of temperature, humidity, precipitation, cloudiness, visibility, and wind. We talk about changes in weather in terms of the near future: "How hot is it right now?" "What will it be like today?" and "Will we get a snowstorm this week?"
Climate is the weather of a place averaged over a period of time, often 30 years. Climate information includes the statistical weather information that tells us about the normal weather, as well as the range of weather extremes for a location."
I'll kindly direct your attention to the emboldened parts.
@WeComeInPeace, yes, I'm aware of the benefits of science to mankind. Ironically, probably more so than you.
