Sorry. The link in my previous reply was botched. Here’s the link to the Global Warming articles:

When did Global Warming become Climate Change?

It's a gradual progression. Almost as if by design.

[SuziQ]

When they realized that the Earth hadn’t been warming up for the last 6 years, and had actually begun cooling.

[freestyle]

I noticed it about a year ago when I saw the term "climate change skeptics" used in a news article.

I mean, seriously?!? Is anyone skeptical that the climate changes? These people are pathetic.

[Girlene]

This same question was being asked two years ago, How did global warming become climate change ?

[tiki]

When they realized that the public wasn’t buying it anymore.

There is always NATURAL climate change occurring.

When did Global Warming become Climate Change?

• When someone noticed the planet is cooling.
• When someone noticed that Algore is an idiot.
• When someone noticed that the computer models don't work with real-world data.
• When someone noticed that the "solutions" did nothing to reduce "green house gasses."
• When someone noticed that the "solutions" were only about money.
• When someone noticed that Global Warming scientists were making up data.

When the sun decided to calm down and have no sun spots almost two years ago. The last mini ice age the sun had no sun spots during that time and millions died because of it. I’m not afraid of global warming it’s allowed mankind to populate the earth for the last 10,000 years. If we have an ice age billions could die and Al Gore nor anyone else can do a damn thing about the sun.

about a year or so ago when algore got caught up in a blizzard on his way to a “global warming” speech...

[Grimmy]

Considering how the same numbnuts were howling about the world soon to be overrun by a massive ice age only a few decades ago, this evolution of tag words for the latest economic destructionism plan is in keeping with the usual pattern.

"When did Global Warming become Climate Change?

I'm still trying to figure out when global cooling became global warming!

[Rocky]

Will, then, I’m sorry.

I come across folks all the time who haven’t heard about global cooling. I mistook you for one of them.

[Bon mots]

They had to once they realized that Gore-Bull Warming was becoming laughable and as they realized that the ice caps were actually growing in size and thickness.

Now they need to alarm the populace about fluctuations in the weather.

So the leftards don’t know if the world is warming or cooling, but they are absolutely positive that it is YOUR FAULT!

You’re gonna pay for this...

Actually, it was in 2004.

See Michael Crichton’s “State of Fear”. He documented the switch in his Novel. His protagonist complains that he can’t sell ‘Global Warming’ in the winter. Thus the name change.

The Governments web site switched in 2008.

They make this bald faced claim:

---

Climate Change or Global Warming?

“The phrase ‘climate change’ is growing in preferred use to ‘global warming’ because it helps convey that there are changes in addition to rising temperatures.”

The National Academies

They conveniently leave of any dating information fro when they made their change.

Hmmmm..... Let me think.
First there was “CO2 induced global warming”, that lasted until we found out that CO2 lag temperature. Between 2000 and 2001 CO2 was dropped and all hype was about “global warming”. The first time I noticed the term “Climate Change” being used was 2005. As more people became aware of Steve McIntrye at Climate Audit taking on Real Climate the more “Climate Change” became main stream. So now whenever anybody ask me about "Climate Change", I say "Do you mean the CO2 Drives the Climate Theory?"

Quite a while ago; here’s Joe Lieberman (August 1, 2003) San Francisco Chronicle
“For too long, the debate on climate change has been at a stalemate: On one side are those calling for deep cuts in greenhouse gases, whatever the cost. On the other side are many business leaders who have downplayed the global-warming threat, fearing new regulations will cut their profits and their payrolls.”

It has been around two years. Just about the time that reputable sientists found a voice. With facts and math and science, instead of "computer models." That, and the failure of the GIGO machine models to match reality, made it imperative for the rats to escape the trap of their own making, and to find a more ambiguous term.

The term "climate change" was a godsend, a miracle of Madison Avenue; never mind that the term makes no sense.

It's like saying "Fight ambient light," or "Fight Albedo."

The lunatic fringe, who wholehertedly supported and embraced inanities like "Environment Now!" from VW buses reeking of grass fumes, just ate it up.

After a couple of years, James Hansen, Al Gore and their flying monkeys fully embraced the term. They figured if they couln't really undertand the term, the average American idiot voter probably couldn't either.

Unfortunately, they were right.

Me? I will continue calling it "Climate Change" until the hucksters are all doing jail time, or until they are all shamed into permanent retirement.

[Publius6961]

When nothing happens at all, will the call it “Global Stasis” and still demand more funding?

It's not possible.
At that point the earth would be a dead planet.
