: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. In these articles, both terms are being used as shorthand to refer to the anthropogenic global warming theory. This is of course a common media usage as well, perhaps because it lends itself to misleading terminology like "climate change denier" and "global warming denier." The climate has always been changing, and the greens didn't discover this. [[User:PeterKa|PeterKa]] 07:36, 14 February 2014 (EST)

::Please reread the last sentence of my edit, ''Climate change was still used to refer to the other changes thought to be caused by increased CO2.'' In the academic and research world’s, climate change and global warming are not synonymous. Global warming is one of the consequences of anthropogenic climate change. I’d like to think an encyclopedia would be able to differentiate between the two without promoting common misconceptions.--[[User:NormaN|NormaN]] 11:03, 14 February 2014 (EST)

:::So much for my request to have this article reflect reality. If this isn’t bad enough, evolution is now being discussed in the opening paragraph of a climate change article. Is it too much to ask for references? This is required by the commandments after all. I even tried to find ''anything'' that could even provide a hint of evidence backing up the first paragraph, but alas, I was unsuccessful.--[[User:NormaN|NormaN]] 12:00, 14 February 2014 (EST)
