Summary/Abstract: The terms and facts connected with climate changes and climate variability are often at the center of attention. This is especially the case where various weather anomalies occur. With regard to the fact that the non-professional public (and sometimes even the professional one) is not aware of long-term climatological averages or the characteristics of climate variability, cases of weather that, in relative terms, occur quite frequently are sometimes regarded as significant anomalies. The following text is first and foremost devoted to climate changes and climate variability dependent on time. The variability of climate elements may be dependent on space as well, but in that case climate changes and variability are never referred to. In this paper attention is mostly paid to the assessment of knowledge and activities that were performed in 2009 and relate to climate changes and variability, including the Fifth National Communication of the Slovak Republic on Climate Change.
