This is just being pedantic. I have never encountered anyone in-person who did not immediately understand and/or equate "climate change" as "the earth is warming". If we want to get the message across to the average person, this type of tut-tut message does no good.

- twojacobtwo 6y agoThat is a fair point. I do recognize the need to differentiate the two as soon as it becomes obvious that someone is trying to use the term to dispute the facts, but I find that most people just want to use the term they know and end up feeling burned if they're corrected while they're already trying to advance the cause.
