, 08:59, February 15, 2014Ngram on "Climate change" vs "global warming"
:::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)

*"AGW" is a reasonably common way to refer to this phenomenia, and it is not nearly as misleading as either "climate change" or "global warming." Both of the later terms imply that the Earth has never warmed any reason other than industrial emissions. I suggest that the main article on this subject be located at [[anthropogenic global warming]], [[Climate change]] and [[global warming]] can be redirects or brief terminology articles. [http://wattsupwiththat.com/2014/01/01/ipcc-silently-slashes-its-global-warming-predictions-in-the-ar5-final-draft/ The latest IPCC report] projects dramatically less warming than earlier reports did. The climate change apocalypse has apparently been averted, and the world saved. Yet the drive-by media can't be bothered to report it. [[User:PeterKa|PeterKa]] 03:04, 15 February 2014 (EST)

In the early 1990s, usage for the two terms was about equal. Later "climate change" became dominant. It's obvious someone made a political decision to change the name at some point.
