"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).

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.


Is global warming a cause or a effect of climate change?

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.


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.


How do humans contribute to climate change not including global warming?

Humans contribute to climate change in various ways beyond global warming, such as through deforestation, which reduces carbon storage capacity; air pollution from fossil fuel combustion, which can impact cloud formation and precipitation patterns; and land-use changes, which alter local climate conditions and ecosystems. These impacts collectively affect the Earth's climate system in multiple ways beyond just an increase in temperature.


Is climate change synonymous with global warming, or are they distinct phenomena?

Climate change and global warming are related but distinct phenomena. Global warming refers specifically to the increase in Earth's average surface temperature due to human activities, while climate change encompasses a broader range of changes in Earth's climate patterns, including temperature shifts, extreme weather events, and sea level rise, all of which can be influenced by global warming.
