No...climate is changing. Climactic patterns effect weather as well as some of the engines that drive weather. Decreased salinity from melting polar icecaps effects the thermohaline belt that circulates water around the world in the oceans. This belt, which drives ocean currents, is responsible for weather patterns, like for instance, warm water currents off the coast of England give some of the Islands there almost tropical conditions. It also effect the hydrologic cycle so that is why we have seen changes in drought patterns in some areas and increased rain and snow in others. You really should go take a climatology class (or at least read a book or two on it). I don't mean that as a jab...it's a very interesting subject and would give you a better understanding of what is going on.
