Why change the terminology from Global Warming, to Climate Change?

Since there is skepticism about the entire issue anyway, it seems the Cassandras would have a better chance of selling the notion if they called it Global Warming.

It sounds sort of sinister, invoking notions of sunburn, parched deserts and such.

Climate Change on the other hand sort of makes people want to go “Duh”. The climate is always changing. The Great Lakes were caused by glaciers that have been gone for millennia. Tell me something I don’t already know. Big deal.

I think it could be a marketing problem.
