    Global warming is still a correct term because the globe is warming.

    Some areas aren’t getting warmer. But the globe is. Hence global warming, not everywhere without exception warming.

    We only moved on to saying climate change because some morons were pushing the same bullshit view that you are - iF gLoBaL wARmiNg iS ReAL hOw CoMe XYZ pLacE wAs CoLdEr tHiS yEaR???4

      Funnily enough, that’s exactly why we no longer use warming, since people need to continually explain that no, it’s just warming since when that’s the word that’s used, it’s used to intentionally detract from the other side.

      We seem to agree that it causes extremes at both ends, it just seems like it’s a bunch of dinosaurs in this thread that can’t comprehend they were taught the incorrect term.

      When someone says global warming it’s a litmus test, you bring up the extremes at both ends and they give you a blank stare.

      Since they literally think it’s only warming since it’s a stupid fucking term…… it’s kinda like how politics used marijuana as a term instead of the correct cannabis term. It’s fucking propaganda lmfao. Keep perpetuating this shit though.

        Yes, that’s what I said. We generally say climate change now because people have idiotic takes like yours and (puzzlingly) don’t appear to understand that global warming means warming of the globe.

        We had to change the language used because people like you can’t parse basic English or apply the smallest amount of thought to the phrase.

        Global warming isn’t an incorrect term in the slightest. It describes the warming of the globe, which is exactly what’s happening.
