Did they change "global warming" to "climate change" just so that whatever happens, it's global warming's faul

Question

t?

And isn't weather chaotic anyway? In other words, if there's a storm because of global warming, how do you know it's not because a butterfly flapped its wings 12,000 miles away?

Answer 1

Yup tried a different spin to sell it, because everyone agrees the climate is changing. They can tell by the leaves falling and snow on the ground.

The biggest CO2 producer is the Ocean. The biggest NO2 producer is the decay of plant life. So what are we going to do about those bad boys, cover the ocean and rake up all the leaves on the planet..... I think we had better get a grip on these major problems before we are all baked to death.

Answer 2

the Europeans have been calling it "climate change" for years now since its a more accurate term for what is happening

warming is merely the symptom of the changes do to the tripling of CO-2 in the atmosphere in the last 150 years or so

that is the real problem, no one really knows what will happen

the planet has already starting warming (that obvious from whats happening in the polar regions) however the other effects are not known

its possible the rapidly melting fresh water glaciers could shut down the ocean currents leading to much larger changes in climate, some evidence of this happening is already emerging as some currents seem to be slowing down

should they stop, the equatorial regions will get extremely hot while the polar regions will get extermely cold possibly leading to another ice age

of course that in theory would put every thing back in balance

except for the fact it might take thousands of years of the ice to melt and most of humanity would have died off due to crop failure

hold onto youre hats, will be interesting either way

Answer 3

Both terms have been used for quite awhile. Global warming causes climate change. All that has to happen is the oceans raise in temperature by a couple of degrees F. and we can see bigger storms in some areas and arid climates in greater areas than before.

Answer 4

No.

Human greenhouse gas emissions cause global warming. Global warming causes global climate change. While the terms are used interchangeably, they mean different things.

Short-term local weather tells you nothing about global warming. This is global warming:

Answer 5

i'm sick of scientific illiterate cons saying things like this:

"The biggest CO2 producer is the Ocean. The biggest NO2 producer is the decay of plant life."

so what?

if you think this disproves that man cannot dramatically change climate - your wrong

all it proves is you have no understanding of science and don't understand what a "cycle" is

you can argue over the severity of the effects of global warming, but you can't argue fact - human activity has increased the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere by at least 30% in the last 100 years:

Answer 6

global wariming melts ice caps which cause ocean levels to raise,it also raises the temperature of the ocean.the temperature of the ocean currents is just one factor that influence climate,for example the storm ystem el nino is caused by the warming of the pacific ocean

Answer 7

worldwide warming is the same undertaking as climate replace. if the earth gets plenty warmer, the climate has replaced. climate replace is in basic terms a extra wide-unfold way of naming the undertaking, case in point, it would desire to aloso mean, say, the climate have been given waaaay less warm, like yet another ice age, which, satirically, in accordance to some, worldwide warming would desire to reason.

Answer 8

No they did it, so people who lack real educations wouldn't keep expecting it to get warmer everywhere.

local weather isn't what determines the extent of global warming.

Answer 9

Maybe they thought it was a more suitable term. Ben Franklin used the term climate change and realized man actions affect climate.

Answer 10

JUST LOOK AROUND AT HOW THE PLANET HAS BEEN SO CHAOTIC AND TRANSFORMED SINCE THE BEGINNING OF TIME AND WILL CONTINUE TO SO TILL THE END OF TIME, AND AS HUMANS WE CAN NOT STOP IT.
