Climate change sounds a bit more benign than global warming. However, the two things are not the same. Climate change is actually the result of global warming.

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.
How is climate change connected with environmental pollution?
Air pollution is bad for the earth, it kills the animals and the people too. And we have anough of that in wars, but global climate change is when the wheather is differing, and changes to different temperatures. Thankyouh
Why do people say climate change instead of just saying global warming?
Global Warming refers to the rise in temperature. The earth is warming, and this global warming is causing climate change. People use the term Climate Change to mean all the changes that are predicted, caused by the world's rise in temperature. 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.
When did global warming change into climate change?
When people tried to understand what was happening we started talking about climate change (as well as global warming).Global warming is the cause. Climate change is the result. They are really two different things.Burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) and deforestation (cutting down trees which previously removed carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere) put extra greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.These gases trap more of the sun's heat (greenhouse effect), causing global warming.The warming of the earth, the atmosphere and the oceans has one huge effect. It is changing the climate.
Why can't the people understand that global warming is just a way for the rich governments to get richer?
I think that generally, people do understand. That's why government needs to periodically change their tactics. Now government calls it climate change.

What do people believe about climate changes and global warming?
People believe that man is causing global warming and climate change by burning fossil fuels and cutting down the forests of the world.Other people believe that global warming is a natural event and man is not causing it.Most believe that it is partially a natural issue that man is having some unknown affect on as well. This is where most scientists fall.Other people believe that global warming is not happening at all.

Do people believe in global warming?
Yes; see the IGPCC, or the United Nations Inter Governmental Panel on Climate Change.
Why is global warming now called climate change?
It is still called Global Warming, but many people are now talking about Climate Change.Global warming is the way the world is warming (through burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) and deforestation). But global warming is CAUSING Climate change.
Why did the terminology change from global warming to climate change?
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.
What can cause a sudden change in climate?
People start burning fossil fuel. This releases greenhouse gases that build up in the atmosphere. This traps more heat and causes global warming. The warming adds extra energy into the atmosphere causing climate change.

Do people think global warming is happening?
Yes, most people accept that global warming is happening. They understand that the ten hottest years on record have all happened since 1995. They are beginning to experience more extreme weather events that are the result of climate change.
What does the guilty must pay mean due to global warming?
It suggests that those who caused global warming will be the ones who suffer because of the warming. This is only partly true, as the richest countries have been most responsible for global warming, but it is the people of poorer countries that will probably suffer the most.
