A Question: if climate science is the study of weather over extended periods and areas, a real world solution must be about real world impacts that change weather events consistently in the short term to get a measurable impact over that extended time and space. What are the solutions that fit this need?

The evidence from those exercises are pretty convincing that anthropogenic climate change (which is what I presume you mean) is ongoing - but that is a conclusion that comes from consideration of the actual physical evidence. ...
Not In My Green House It's Time to Hit Snooze on the Alarm(ists)
Wonderful carbon dioxide gets the blame for all of it. Without it, all animal and plant life would cease. With it, we all flourish. History shows CO2 levels lagging behind temperature rises (by about 800 YEARS!). But now we're told it's ...
