So that people know what it is: since it is a process of warming why would you call it cooling. People would think that it was its oppissite. Its like calling boys girls.
Moreover you cannnot dispell a problem by renaming it to something which causes people to misconcieve it. If i called my arms wings it still doesnt mean i can fly, people this is why we identified that we dont have wings. And from this starting point we were able to design devices to help us fly. The same is true tof global warming.

You're probably always wondering why people call you stupid too. Well it turns out we name things based on what they are. If you see that the globe is warming up, you call it global warming, if you see a stupid person you call them stupid.

why cant we just see we mirror are enviroment and our enviroment mirrors us... why cant it be that we used to produce our enviroment and now we have made so many adjustments our enviroment produces us.

How about we calm down and maybe our enviroment will too?
