"I noticed there’s been a shift from the use of the term global “warming” to global “climate change”. Guess they figured “warming” was becoming a hard sell."

Especially this year. It finally got up to 80 here, and the rest of the week it's forecast to be "cooling."

When I first began studying Meteorology, “Climate” was described as a period of weather averaged over a 30 year span.

However,The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) glossary definition is:

” Climate in a narrow sense is usually defined as the “average weather”, or more rigorously, as the statistical description in terms of the mean and variability of relevant quantities over a period of time ranging from months to thousands or millions of years.

The classical period is 30 years, as defined by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). These quantities are most often surface variables such as temperature, precipitation, and wind. Climate in a wider sense is the state, including a statistical description, of the climate system.”

So unless Ms.Pelosi sat on the same rock, 24/7 in Greenland for 30 years she has not seen a Climate Change. Judging by her facial expression she may have experienced a Climatic
Period.
