People use the term Climate Change to mean all the changes that are predicted, caused by the world's rise in temperature. Using the term climate change means we can talk about the practical things that scientists are predicting.

Global Warming refers to the rise in temperature. The earth is warming, and this global warming is causing climate change.

The rise in average temperature will cause many varied climate changes, perhaps including reduced temperature in some areas, glaciers melting, sea levels rising, increased number of natural disasters, more severe weather events, and longer droughts.

Is both global environment and global warming is same?

Not quite, though they are very closely connected. Global warming is the warming of the earth. This is causing climate change, which is the many different changes in climate that are beginning to happen.


What is the overall rise in earth's average temperature called?

The rise in temperature is called Global Warming. This global warming of the earth is causing Climate Change. These two things are not the same thing.


Why did terminology change from global warming to climate change?

Global warming is happening and this warming is causing climate change. We still talk about global warming, but by using the term climate change we can deal with the practical effects of the warming.Basically our world's weather patterns are very complex, so when the climate warms in one place it may actually change weather patterns and create a slight cooling somewhere else. In addition, there may be some places where the temperature changes very little but the pattern of weather - amount of rain or snow for example - does change. So while the overall effect of what is happening is that the average temperature of the globe is warming, some individual places may actually cool, and others will just experience changes in weather. Thus "climate change" sums things up better than "global warming".


Type of warming mean that shows the trend in increasing temperature of earth?

Global warming or global climate change is a type of warming that shows the trend in the increasing temperature of Earth.


Is there any ways that the world can stop global warming?

No there is not. Climate change/global warming or cooling is a natural phenomena. We may be able to reduce the rate of change by sensible use of energy.

Global warming is an effect of climate change. Climate change refers to long-term changes in temperature, precipitation, and other atmospheric conditions. Global warming specifically refers to the increase in Earth's average surface temperature due to human activities like burning fossil fuels.


Is greenhouse effect is the other name of global warming?

Strictly speaking there is no other name for global warming."The whole earth heating up" might be another name.Global warming is causing climate change, so many people think they are both the same, so they say:"Climate change is another name for global warming", but they are not really the same.

What is climate change global warming causing?

"Climate Change" and "Global Warming" are not the same, though related. Global Warming causes Climate Change. With Global Warming we understand the warming of the earth's global temperature. 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).
