Working Group I Contribution to the Fifth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change), Cambridge University Press 2013, ISBN 978-1-107-05799-1. «Climate in a narrow sense is usually defined as the average weather, or more rigorously, as the statistical description in terms of the mean and variability of relevant quantities over a period of time ranging from months to thousands or millions of years. The classical period for averaging these variables is 30 years, as defined by the World Meteorological Organization. The relevant quantities are most often surface variables such as temperature, precipitation and wind. Climate in a wider sense is the state, including a statistical description, of the climate system.» Besøkt 25. juli 2017.
Aforismen finnes i Robert Heinleins roman Time enough for love fra 1973. Den er av noen tillagt Mark Twain. Formuleringen hos ham er imidlertid noe annerledes: «Climate lasts all the time and weather only a few days.» («Klimaet varer hele tiden, været bare noen dager.») For nærmere omtale, se oppslag hos Quote Investigator; besøkt 26. juli 2017.
