Changes in climate? Blame representative (12)

I believe the answer is:

emblematical

'representative' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'changes in climate? blame' is the wordplay.
'changes in' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'change in' mean this).
'climate'+'blame'='climateblame'
'climateblame' with letters rearranged gives 'EMBLEMATICAL'.

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
