Global warming is not any one single event. A day might be hotter than usual, or even during a period of rapid warming (such as is occurring now), any given day might be cooler than average. Even one year of unusually warm weather, by itself, does not qualify as evidence of global warming. The summer of 2012 in the US was the warmest on record. When compared against the five year average across many decades, a clear warming trend is established.
Similarly, we had a couple of fairly cool years in the 1970s. That didn't mean the earth was cooling. But what has the long term trend been?
Another example of an effect of global warming is the extent of arctic sea ice. This year it is the smallest ever recorded. That could be significant unless it was offset by gains in Antarctic ice. It wasn't.
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.
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.
"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).
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.
Global warming causes climate change. We now use the term climate change because it deals with all the many changes. Global warming is still happening and the warming is putting more energy into the atmosphere. This extra energy is changing the climate.
The answer you are looking for is climate change.However, the question is incorrect. Global warming is not the same as climate change. Global warming is the warming of the earth. Climate change is the result of this warming.

Brazil itself is the main cause of global warming and climate change as they are continuously chopping down the rainforests!
Burning fossil fuels like coal, oil, and gas releases greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, contributing to global warming and climate change.
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.

It can change the climate
Climate change. Though that is actually caused by global warming.

Sarah Palin's stance is she does not believe in global warming. She thinks climate change is do to regular climate fluctuation.
