Some clown elsewhere tried to pretend that "global warming" has suddenly changed to "climate change". That is nonsense.

"Climate change" is the correct term.

"Global warming" is the term used often in the media. It is not a technical term - but it is not necessarily wrong.

Anthropogenic emissions are causing the globe to warm - hence "global warming". This planetary warming impacts upon climate. Climate is driven by a lot of things - eg. ocean currents, albedo effects, winds etc. That is "global warming" may cause some places to actually get cooler.

Call it "Bruce" if you like - I really couldn't give a toss. Just try to learn a little bit about things before you go spouting crap.
Interesting.

Since you are obviously very correct on this issue and also very angry about this issue perhaps you could explain two things to the board:

1) Why has global warming stopped since 1998? I mean, if Carbon Dioxide was the main driver of climate change, shouldn't at least ONE of the years since 1998 been warmer?

And 2) Why has the ice-core data shown that CO2 levels rose in the past AFTER the globe warmed up?
Would that not indicate that CO2 is a symptom of a warmer planet and not a driver of said warming?

Thanks!
