∙ 7y agoNo. Climate change has always happened, but in the past it has taken thousands of years to happen. The climate change that is happening now has changed in the past fifty years, very quickly, and it is being caused by global warming.
Global warming is the temperature rise averaged over the whole planet. It is caused entirely by mankind's action of deforestation and burning fossil fuels.. Global warming, as its name implies, means only increasing temperatures over the entire earth.

∙ 7y agoNo. Global warming is the physical warming of our planet from deforestation and the burning of fossil fuels.
This warming is causing climate change. The extra warmth is actually extra energy in the atmosphere which gives more power to weather events.

What is the effect of CFLs on global warming?

Why is the phenomenon called global warming more accurately described as climate change?
It is not. They are not both the same, in fact, they are cause and effect. Global warming is the warming of the earth. This warming is causing climate change.

That warming has in turn an effect on the earth's global climate and on more localized climates (like the climate of England or Western US).

No, they don't.
What can volcanic gas do to an environment?
