Why is the 'Global Warming' section being changed to 'Climate Change' and back again?

It depends on where the person asking the question lives. If the questioner lives in the US, then Yahoo's US server calls it "Global Warming".

Some other servers call it "Climate Change". For example, the Australian server calls this section "Climate Change".

The UK's server calls it "Global Warming".

i think its because the term 'climate change' is the one that's best fit in. they are the same thing! but basically when people hear the term global warming they immediately think that its not happening couse its not getting hotter. where as climate change it can get colder in some places and hotter in others if that makes sense :)

im kinda an eco freak lol :)
 
This week and the past one has seen climate change step to the forefront of policy topics as world leaders have convened in Denmark to discuss Global Warming and the need to stop it. As we await a possible global mandate to curb carbon emissions, it is a better time than any to explain how this lie has been able to permeate the entire developed world.

Firstly, let's get this out of the way. Man-made Global Warming is a myth; the Earth is not warming due to civilization. It is a lie, an outright deception. All it has ever been about has been tearing down America and the redistribution of wealth. China is a worse polluter than us and France uses nuclear power to produce about 70 percent of their energy (a horrible alternative energy idea to all liberals) yet the United States is the one country that is yelled at for our carbon emissions. The climate change lobby attracts all spectrums of leftists because liberals, socialists, anarchists, communists all want the same thing. A weaker America. "American Exceptionalism" is a 4-letter word in their vocabulary, they are self-loathing people who hate that their own country is successful while they dream up all sorts of "injustices" in the world, and so they try and drag the U.S. down.

Now you may be asking, if man-made Global Warming is an idea concocted by the fringe of politics, why is it so widely believed. The simple answer is that the Global Warming crowd has put together the best history on the face of the Earth. They phrase the debate, making it impossible to disagree. Who doesn't want "clean air" or "clean water"? They phrase it so that the opposition is pro-pollution instead of what they are, which is pro-American. But to work a PR campaign you need spokesmen. In come politicians, academia, and the media. Always looking for the new thing to make themselves feel enlightened, they found the perfect storm in Global Warming, not only was it cutting edge progressivism, but supporting stopping it meant saving the planet. And anyone who has ever watched a superhero film agrees that that is pretty cool. So they joined the front. There could be no debate, it was decided, Global Warming must be true, and every time someone stepped into a classroom, turned on a T.V., or watched C-SPAN they would be convinced.
 
Dr. T
1998 was the warmest year in the last century or so, basing a claim for cooling off an abnormally hot year make absolutely no sense. Why don't you pick 1999 and see what the trend is? Or 2000? or 1977? In fact you could pick 99 out of the last 100 and still get the same warming trend. This is why deniers always cling to 1998. The funny thing is that this starting point will become less important in the future.
 
Because if you call it "climate change" then you open up the possibility of cooling or, even worse, simple fluctuations. If there is no "global warming", then the CO2 greenhouse mechanism is no longer valid. Without a CO2 greenhouse mechanism, carbon footprints are meaningless as are all of the proposed CO2 mitigation proposals.

However, if it's global warming, then you have to explain why it is important when it's been warming since the last ice age. You also have to explain why it has been cooling for the last 10 years, or so.

It is a quandary.
 
They are covering themselves in case the earth starts dramatically cooling then they can peddle bogus environmental policies to warm the earth.
