cambio climático: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que la expresión "cambio climático" no constituye un nombre propio, sino una denominación descriptiva, y por tanto se escribe con iniciales minúsculas en frases como "Las ciudades del mundo se manifiestan contra el cambio climático". Es preciso respetar las mayúsculas, en cambio, cuando forma parte del nombre de un acto, conferencia o reunión. 3, record 1, Spanish, - cambio%20clim%C3%A1tico

El término "variabilidad climática" se utiliza a menudo para indicar desviaciones de las estadísticas climáticas a lo largo de un período de tiempo dado (por ejemplo, un mes, estación o año determinados) respecto a estadísticas climáticas a largo plazo relacionadas con el mismo período del calendario. (En este sentido, la variabilidad climática se mide por esas desviaciones, denominadas habitualmente anomalías.) 1, record 2, Spanish, - variabilidad%20clim%C3%A1tica

Decadal climate variability (DCV) – the variations in global and regional climate that distinguish one decade from another – is of relevance to our complex modern society. DCV can arise from internal interactions within the climate system, and in response to external forcing such as clusters of volcanic eruptions and changes in solar irradiance. 2, record 3, English, - decadal%20climate%20variability
