Climate change refers to the long term increase in the average global temperature due to increasing greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. It is currently occurring mainly due to human activity, including burning fossil fuels and cutting down forests.
Climate change causes larger and more severe weather events, rising sea levels, and extinctions.

Weather: short term local atmospheric conditions
Climate: long term averages of temperature, precipitation, etc.
