:If "climate change" is defined as the same thing as [[global warming]], then this article should be a redirect. "Climate change" and "global warming" are both generic terms when interpreted literally. But in these articles, both terms are being use as shorthand to refer to the anthropogenic global warming theory. [[User:PeterKa|PeterKa]] 07:36, 14 February 2014 (EST)

This is of course a common media usage as well, perhaps because it lends itself to misleading terminology like "global warming denier" and "climate change denier."
