It’s not simply a climate change. It’s a coined term by the fossil fuel industry. Like BP introduced the individual carbon footprint, this one should also be ignored. It’s a climate crisis.
Calling it climate change implies it is of natural change. It belittles the criticality of the human induced influence. The fossil fuel industry knows exactly why they are calling it climate change and not climate crisis. Global warming is also, as much as climate change, scientifically correct, but let’s be honest. Since when does the industry care about scientifical facts? They use that in ill faith.
It’s called climate change because it’s more than global warming. A lot of things are changing, and they’re all bad. To just say global warming would be ignoring all of the other problems.
I agree. Global warming is one aspect of many of our current climate crisis. And it will become worse when politics won’t restrict the reign of fossil fuel industries.
Oh they are switching from “Its not real” to “its all over, we can’t do anything, so invest in fossils even more” (the invest part is an exaggeration).
I want to believe that most of those messages are from paid actors (oil industry, authoritarian regimes).
and people say global warming/climate change is not real

Politicians and publications that acknowledge the climate crisis should probably start using that term instead of climate change then.
I wonder if that is used intentionally? Like they would have a reason to make a narrative of denial?
It’s because the “fact” the the fossil fuel industry coined the term climate change is false.
This is the preferred term by scientists, and it has been since before “global warming” became a term.

The fossil fuel industry denied climate change was happening at all for a long time after the term was being used by scientists.
I was being cynical. I’m fully aware of their hellbent ideologies.
