| Feb 8, 2017 at 19:15 | comment | added | SRM | it was the dominant meme and the reason so many scientists push the term climate change today. If we want to make the tag "anthropogenic-climate-change", I'd support that. | |
| Feb 8, 2017 at 11:20 | comment | added | a4android | @SRM The term climate change covers all forms of climate change. Climate change applies to all relevant phenomena not just anthropogenic.Yes they are synonyms, but giving each a nuanced meaning helps with clarity. Didn't think anyone thought the greenhouse effect would lead to linear change, even in the 1990s. | |
| Feb 8, 2017 at 6:31 | comment | added | SRM | "Climate change" in common parlance is anthropogenic. It is the term that climate scientists are trying to push instead of "global warming" which is a misnomer in some places, a hold-over from the 1990s when we thought the warming might be linear. They are complete synonyms in the debates about climate change. | |
