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.
Weather is the state of the atmosphere at a given time or place, but climate is the weather over a long period of time such as 20 years.
Global warming is the cause of climate change.Climate change is the result of global warming.
"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).
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 is caused by global warming.
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.

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.

No, global warming is a rise in the temperature of the earth. Global warming is causing climate change.

Humans are contributing to global warming (by burning fossil fuel and cutting down forests) and global warming is CAUSING climate change.
Global warming refers to the long term increase of the earths temperature. It is directly linked to climate change but is not an interchangeable term for it.
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.
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.
Global warming and global climate change happen all over the world. That is the meaning of global.
