<human>:  Can you explain the difference between a meteorologist and climatologist?
<bot>: A meteorologist is a scientist that specializes in studying short-term changes in the atmosphere and predicting weather in the near future, while a climatologist is a scientist that studies long-term weather trends and climate. Meteorologists focus on the daily and weekly weather conditions, while climatologists are more concerned with the climate patterns that occur over many years, such as the effects of global warming.
