Theoretical Considerations of Climatology and Climate Change
Abstract
In this paper we look at the concepts of climatology (M) and climate change (C) from a theoretical point of view. In particular we examine the apparent contradiction of these two terms as they relate, in one hand, to a reference constant value (M) and, on the other hand, to a time-dependent variable (C). We define different working climatologies and their relations to climate change in order to find potential estimators of both M and C.
