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.

The term "global warming" has only really been an American term. It was used by the left because they were concerned that "change" is something Americans like so "climate change" would be a hard sell.
For the most part, the rest of the world has always used "climate change". In fact, just sayng the German equivalent of "global warming" (Globale Erwärmung) is a toungue twister and whereas climate change (Klima Änderung) just rolls off the tongue - well as much as any German does. Besides, in both circumstances the phrases have Umlauts (the two dots) so you know it must be serious.

"I noticed theres 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."

I noticed that effort...so when talking with liberals I still refer to it as global warming...can’t be good if they’re trying to change their rhetoric. So I hold their feet to the false claims.

Since the climate has always been in a state of change, it is almost a certainty it is in a state of change today.

The climate has warmed, that never was the issue. The issue's are, is it caused by man, that is is carbon dioxide the cause? And regardless is this a bad thing? Fact is the climate has been warming since the last ice age, with dips such as the last mini ice age. CO is only just barely accelerating it, and it is a good thing not bad.

They changed the term for the old “CYA”. No matter what happens, they can point and say “See, we TOLD you this would happen!” It doesn’t matter what the changes are, just as long as people perceive a change then they are happy to claim they forecast it.

Of course, because the temperature is always changing. What I love is how they try to tie storms to heat rather than heat differential..
