I wish they had called it climate change from the very beginning! I think it would have been taken seriously but, considering the average intelligence of those in power, it was beyond them to comprehend what global warming actually meant!
A friend of mine who grew up along the Niagara Escarpment and moved down to shitville, around 2002, was a little confused as to why a little freezing rain caused the business that she was working for to close. Then she saw the carnage that was mostly due to a complete lack of equipment to deal with it, and a complete lack of understanding on how to drive a vehicle in such conditions.

Actually it did come to pass and continues to, despite a complete failure of the general public to understand it.

Funny that most of the same people who argue against "global warming", aka "climate change", fail to believe in the one, despite scientific evidence of its existence, but were willing to believe the other based on just the word of people who lie for a living.
