Planetary climate is the rate of change in atmospheric conditions across latitudes for either half or a full orbit. Our planet's climate is influenced by the relationship between the angle of inclination and the orbital plane or 66 1/2 degrees.

An inclination closer to the orbital plane changes the atmospheric conditions for all latitudes with a greater rate of change in mid-latitudes while an inclination like Jupiter's 87 degrees and almost a maximum distance from the orbital plane generates little or no change across latitudes.

That man is discussing micro-climate while macro-climate is entirely the inputs given to the motions of the Earth and the structure of the solar system. The experimental theorists want to squeeze the Earth's climate into conditions of a common greenhouse and work off hunches.
