When did global warming become climate change?

When did global warming become climate change?
By Guy K. Mitchell, Jr.

On May 15, 2013, "Quantifying the consensus on anthropogenic global warming in the scientific literature" was published in "Environmental Research Letters" by a group who referred to themselves as "citizen scientists."  In the "letter" that reported their findings, they made a claim that "97.1% [of scientists surveyed] endorsed the consensus position that humans are causing global warming" (emphasis added).  On May 16, 2013, President Barack Obama tweeted, " Ninety-seven percent of scientists agree #climatechange [emphasis added] is real, man-made and dangerous."

It is unclear whether President Obama made an inadvertent error in quoting the report findings or if he purposefully rephrased the conclusion.  In his film, An Inconvenient Truth, former Vice President Al Gore refers to "global warming," as do many academic societies, the United Nations Inter-Governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), and other world politicians.  Today, however, the term "climate change" is used almost exclusively by the proponents of the global warming hypothesis instead of the term "global warming."  Climate change blames severe weather events such as hurricanes, droughts, floods, extreme heat and cold, mudslides, wildfires, and other natural events on man's activities and their impact on the environment.

In its seminal report in 1990, the IPCC predicted that "nder the IPCC Business-as-Usual (Scenario A) emissions of greenhouse gases ... global mean temperature [emphasis added] will increase by 1°C by 2025."  The average increase in the temperature anomaly for the lower troposphere (first 8 km of the Earth's atmosphere) for that period was 0.402°C (about 0.01°C per year), about 40% of the U.N. IPCC prediction and well within the measurement margin of error.  Measured increases in the temperature of the land mass and oceans were even less.

When the old snake oil ain't sellin' so good, put it in a new bottle with a more appealing label...

Precisely.

In the meantime, panic and doom sell well enough that certain parties made fortunes, and would have made far more had carbon credits been required and traded.

and would have made far more had carbon credits been required and traded.

The exchange (similar to a stock exhange) on which they would have been traded
has already been created.  It's in Chicago, where commodities are already traded.
One of the main owners of the exchange is none other than - Al Gore!
He would have received a fraction of a penny for every carbon credit that changed hands.
By now, that alone would have made him a billionaire!

"97.1% [of scientists surveyed] endorsed the consensus position that humans are causing global warming."

And in similar news,
97 percent of burglars in prison endorse the consensus position
that people should leave their doors unlocked.

When the data started deviating from the models and predictions.

At about the time the un-plausible hockey stick data plots left several ounces of egg on the climate scam perps.  Climate models didn't fit, and there were some secretive falsification of data. 

This was somewhere about 2008 or 2009 if I recall.

That 97% is more like 75%.  And of those 75% well over half are sipping the kolaid because if they don't repeat the false narrative, they get drummed out of the community of meteorologist and research climatologist.  They live in that fear.  Challenging the Gore-acle might result in professional suicide.

The term 'climate change' is used because the Communists cannot lose with it. Associating climate change with global warming is a canard, a trap. Obviously, the weather is ALWAYS changing and always has. Who can possibly deny climate change? You can't. That's the whole point.

Also, 'climate change' is a catch-all no lose term. If it is too hot one year ... climate change. If it is too cold in the winter ... climate change. If there are tornados and hurricanes ... climate change. Earthquakes ... climate change. No matter what happens climate change covers everything, so the cultists can always claim to be 'right' no matter what happens.

That's right... People forget, but it was global cooling back in the 70s and 80s before it was global warming...

And the beat goes on.

The bottom line is, that after some 4.6 Billion years of climate change, overwhelmingly occurring without human assistance, suddenly these people will make it stop,if you just send them enough money and give up enough of your rights.

It's the textbook (well before the scammers rewrote them) example of a scam.

'Global warming' became 'climate change' shortly after the UN published 600,000 years of Vostok ice core data showing that rising/falling temperatures caused an increase/decrease in CO₂ levels, not the other way around.
