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.
I don’t object to that term. With “climate change” we get the opinion “well climate has always been changing so drill baby drill won’t make it stop changing”.
You won’t convince people if you use the term “warming” and then present them snow in Texas. Climate change is the right expression.
The Guardian now uses “climate crisis”.

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