    We really did a lot of damage calling the phenomenon “global warming” back in the 90s, didn’t we?

      No, I think we did damage when we stopped calling it global warming when it was applicable. The whole planet is getting warmer, which creates changes in climates, and eventually destabilizes and then collapses existing climates.

      Global warming is what is causing climate change, and humans are what is causing global warming.

        Yeah, but nobody listens to the whole explanation. They just hear “everything will always be hot, but it snowed just last February, so obviously global warming is a hoax.”
