Novel climate conditions and unprecedented climate change impacts may occur on a variety of temporal and spatial scales. A distinction is sometimes made between "rapid-onset" and "slow-onset" events. A rapid-onset event may be a single, discrete event that occurs in a matter of days or even hours, whereas slow-onset events evolve gradually from incremental changes occurring over many years or from an increased frequency or intensity of recurring events. 3, record 1, English, - rapid%2Donset%20climate%20event
