Lol I think the history of these terms is funny. Frank Lutz, famous conservative political communications consultant preferred the term climate change over global warming because you could more easily weasel your way out of it by just saying "so what, the climate changes all the time!" Or some variation. I had a friend whose mom was a climatologist and her preferred term has always been "global storming", referencing the unpredictability of the situation.
