    You won’t convince people if you use the term “warming” and then present them snow in Texas. Climate change is the right expression.

      Eh, “Global Warming” is fine. Texas isn’t the globe. I’ve come to believe the whole “If we explain it differently, maybe it’ll convince them” approach is largely a waste of energy.

      Climate change is a GOP/Oil industry invented term to sound less scary than global warming. It doesn’t mean no snow ever again, or every square inch of planet is warmer than last year.

        ”Climate Crisis“ is a term that has been established in Germany. Pretty fitting and doesn’t mess with people’s expectations (I hope).
