Global Warming v. Global Climate Change

[The Truth and Light]

I was debating this with my friends yesterday. They are both scientific theories, thus completely observable and mostly supported by evidence, except global warming does not seem as likely an idea as global climate change.

During the early part of the year, blizzards covered the US. Now, going by a strict, definition of global warming, this is countered to the theory. What I think is more likely, is not that the temperature is slowly rising over the whole earth, but rather the climate is shifting. Rainy areas are becoming droughty, beaches are flooding, precipitation is occuring in commonly dry spots, as well as the slow melting of the ice-caps. I think that, under global warming, our seasons should not be so polar. But what do you think NS? Which is the better theory?

[Lackadaisical2]

GCC, because it explains any shift in global climate.

Oh my god you realized what the scientist were saying for thirty years

give yourself a fucking pat on the back

[The Truth and Light]

I just love enlightening disussion.

[Motuka]

What is this I don't even

[Drenetharada]

I don't care, we can't sit around we still need to do something we can't continue living like how we do. This is something we can not take any risks about if we do it could be too late to change our way of life.

[Roman Cilicia]

Both are outright false.

Its already too late, about 100 years too late.

[Bongoongoland]

Both are outright false.

plate tectonics are a lie

the continents formed as wrinkles from the shrinkage of the earth

but wait those aren't the positions of $OPPOSING_IDEOLOGY so I can accept them with good conscience

god you are such a goddamn child

[Roman Cilicia]

Thank you for calling me a child, I really appreciate it

The climate changes periodically as it has throughout the sum of human history. We've simply entered a warmer epoch of the world's history.

ohohoho, I see what you did thar. You sir are :sex:

So you do believe in climate change. Congrats on being contradictory!

[Free Soviets]

um, those aren't different things...

Not unless I get drunk and start constructing a weather control device.

[Unchecked Expansion]

Climate scientists has been saying global warming as a phrase is misleading about the actual process of anthropogenic climate change for a while

[Zarvarza]

time to wake up from your brainwashing, this was disproven a LONG time ago

[Chumblywumbly]

um, those aren't different things...

This.

Global warming causes climatic change, often resulting in disrupted weather patterns.

It's best having a good understanding of the the differences between the italicised.

the world doesn't work like that. climactic changes are caused. what do you think is causing this one?

[Motuka]

No we haven't, the climate is exactly the same as it was fifty years ago. The scientists are all bribed or lying. Same with the meteorologists, and the environmental agencies, and my thermometer.

time to wake up from your brainwashing, this was disproven a LONG time ago

Exactly. The government is making you hallucinate the effects of climate change by beaming false data into your brains from satellites! WAKE UP, SHEEPLE!

[Vetalia]

Global warming is a type of climate change...

[Norstal]

time to wake up from your brainwashing, this was disproven a LONG time ago

No you fool. They're using microwaves. Why do you think you get horny whenever you get near one?

[Roman Cilicia]

The current theory is false.

The climate of course changes over long periods of time.

A microwave... in a satellite.

Oh... oh my god.

They're more nefarious than I gave them credit for.

Climate change didn't make much of an appearance in the public realm until the mid-2000s, though.

well blame that on the media, climate change isn't scary enough for them but it is the original description used scientifically. Death tax, killer bees, the media loves scary absurd names.

oh and Light the blizzards took place during the warmest winter on record. might want look how evaporation works. global rise in average temp. causes polarized weather patterns.

Highlight the words "I Think" and tattoo on your forehead, so you'll remember your not talking about what the scientific predictions actually is.

[The Truth and Light]

The current theory is false.

The climate of course changes over long periods of time.

That little statement is most of the theory, dude.
