... affected by climate change.

Huh? Now we're supposed to believe that the climate affects the density of the earth? Are we supposed to believe that we weigh more on some parts of the earth opposed to others?

"What fresh hell is this?"

Actually yes. Where you're closer to the center of the earth the gravity is less. Gravity mapping has been around for quite a while.

Your mass (kilograms or slugs) will remain the same, but your weight (Newtons or pounds) which depends upon gravitational attraction will vary.

I would bet good money that 100 years science still will not have understood “climate change” any better than today

Of course in 100 years nobody will care because 100 years ago the smart people figured out it was a scam and nobody want to be associated with known frauds

The short answer is yes.
But before you get your knickers in a bunch, look up "vertical exaggeration."

The difference in weight would never be measureable by a normal scale.
The same mass will have different weights on top of Everest and the shores of the Dead Sea.
