By definition 'climate' is a regional phenomenon, not a global one. Also,
please note that climate is DEFINED as prevailing *regional* *weather*
conditions.

cli·mate (klĈmit), n.
1. the composite or generally prevailing weather conditions of a *region*,
as temperature, air pressure, humidity, precipitation, sunshine, cloudiness,
and winds, throughout the year, averaged over a series of years.

Why don't you be accurate and talk about 'averages of min and max
temperatures' and not climate. Global climate is an oxymoron.
