Come on guys, which one is it?! I've been hearing "Global Warming is real" and also "It's not Global warming, it's climate change." Decide already!

Boo Ya Boo- You are pathetic. I was only asking a simple question because I have been hearing some people say it's global warming and not climate and vice versa. And, obviously you are the one who dropped out of elementary school because I needed to explain a simple question to you.

Blame the moose!
A grown moose belches over 100 Kg of methane a year. This has the equivalent effect of 2100 Kg of CO2 (More than a flight halfway around the world).
It’s true - had to laugh when I heard this one. Even our best conspiracy theorists couldn’t come up with this one.

Global warming is a bunch of blogna. I did a 6 page paper on it for an environmental studies class this spring. Think about it this way, there is only one active scientist who supports the idea of global warming. The rest are policticians or amateur scientists, and ironically Al Gore is this scientist's student. Yes, it is true that humans have some small effect on the temperature, but it is little to nothing. The Earth every few thousand years goes through a pattern where it heats up (predicting the ice age which comes next) and history has show that each time this has happened it has been hotter than it was before. The difference is this time, it is a whole lot hotter, but some of the reasoning behind that is; the entire galaxy is heating up. I forget why, but I assure you, global warming is hoo-hah and the hotness is the earth's natural cycle.
Sageandscholar - I think you need to re-read your own link. That letter is signed by 22 people who represent a union. 22 people...thats .0022% of the union. Nowhere in there did it say everyone agreed. And why would they not unless they wanted to lose their job? Also, the EPA's job is to make you more environmental conscious, not less, why would they shoot down global warming. Dummy.
SAS- Oohh, George W. thinks its happening, it must be real then! Dub is a politician, and what did I state before, policiticians are the ones claiming this is an issue. Al Gore is a scientist, but also a politician, I think you need to do a little more research outside of watching an inconvenient truth and reading digg.

Scientists use the term "Global Climate Change".
Media and celebrity spokes-geeks use "Global Warming".
"Climate change" is more appropriate, since not all parts of the globe will see an increase -- even if there is an overall increase in average global temperatures.

The phrase Climate Change was used by this White House to describe Global Warming as it sounded less frightening.
So they are one and the same thing.
Smizzle - is the one scientist who believes this among these 10,000?

obviously you dropped out of elementary school, and that's unfortunate. global warming is CAUSING climate change, junior. the earth is heating up and there are many different kinds of climates on earth. global warming and climate change aren't mutually exclusive. DUHHHHHHHHH

Socialism or liberalism
Liberalism or Progressive
Global warming or Climate Change
They are just different buzz words used to take economic and individual freedoms away
