The difference between Global Warming vs. Climate Change is not semantics. One term is in use, the other has been buried long ago. It's not a synonym, stop pretending it is.
You sound bitter about "one term" being allowed at all, otherwise you wouldn't be such a poofy nerd about the terminology
Did it hurt?
When your long-held childhood "feelings" about how the world works had to take a backseat, and begrudgingly admit to the existence of one empirically assessed field, within the subject of climate problems?
Do you find yourself desperately grasping to the difference between "warming" and "change" like a withered fool, in your dying struggle to retain the position that you are infallible; that the Hippies weren't right about something?
Weirdly enough, I constantly find Americans take special exception to the idea that there could possibly be decay in nature (I mean holy shit, decay in nature?), let alone decay in nature resulting from something man-made. Many opponents of this act as though, were it true, the revelation would somehow 'mean' something hugely significant politically/advantageously, other than simply being what it is, like any phenomenon in nature
"Warming" is not a dirty word, and it isn't some Godzilla entity that's going to kill everyone in two years if we don't pay ___ environmental organizations money as part of their nefarious plot, fulfilling whatever dumb Cabal "secret agenda" far, far right consipiracy you think might warrant the falsifying of "warming" claims.
Warming is just one part of many natural systems decaying, like humans decay, like rocks and mountains and flora/fauna decays. Your own U.S. Department of Commerce maintains that position, as a federal agency

That's your government. If you didn't like NASA's position, for some stupid f*cking reason and have somehow decided that for all your dumb ass knows, NASAs probably illuminati, and in on the "scheme"
Nevermind all the scientific, non-partisan research and study that takes place in countries outside your own.
You goof
