Climatology is a very broad subject and includes far more than just global warming. I'm a climatologist and perhaps about 15% of my work is involved with climate change.
There are specialist areas within the discipline of climatology and as such it's possible to specialise in climate change. It's a bit like medicine, there are doctors then there are doctors proficient in a specific area.
If you wanted to restrict your studies just to climate change there are degrees available (BSc and Msc) where you would qualify simply as a climate change scientist. Such courses usually require you to take an additional, related, subject such as metoerology, oceanography, paleoclimatology etc.
I noticed from your profile that you're 15, subjects you should look at concentrating in over the next few years include maths, physics, chemistry and possible geography. These are often prerequisites for being accepted onto a university course - the subjects and grades required varies from one university to the next.
Nowadays there are several universities that offer degrees in climatology but far fewer where you can study just climate change (the numbers are increasing).
I don't know which country you're in but perhaps the best university in the world for studying climate change is the University of East Anglia in Norwich, England.
Good luck.

There is no one word, or position, for someone who studies climate change. It depends on what interests you.
Geology, chemistry, physics and biology are some of the areas of study which can relate to climate change, and they all have subdivisions.

Climatology. It might be included in university departments called "Earth Sciences," "Meteorology," "Environmental Sciences" etc.

You would be a climatologist if you are good.
If not. likely a weather man.
