The use of the term ‘climate change’ as a substitute for ‘global warming’ is a cop out. It implies that the current warming of Earth is an act of God and not of mankind.
It is a term used to avoid setting off overly fearful reactions in the very people who need to change their ways if we are to decrease our rate of carbon emissions.
To use this term instead of global warming is a denial of our responsibility. In short, it’s an act of cowardice.
Everybody knows that the climate is changing. The ongoing melting of ice, permafrost and methane hydrate is visual proof of a warming biosphere.
Climate change is an umbrella term that includes a host of climatic changes of which warming is only one. When carbon dioxide levels plunged and Earth froze over, that was climate change, too.
