aoa i want seniors to clarify the confusion.though its a stupid question i think but i am confused...

is there any difference between global warming and climate change??

global warming means increase in earth's atmospheric temperature due to accumulation of green house gases while climate change is a broader term encompassing global warming along with its all the environmental effects like changes in precipitation, resulting migrations, changing diseade patterns, changes in agricultural productivity,all the the cyclones and other possible scenarios

nevertheless in literature both the terms are very often used synonymously

thanks

m asking because in newspapers v see a term climate change instead of global warming

so i have to use heading of global warming in the essay of climate change.

in my knowledge climate change is a broad term that includes intervals of cold climate and warm climate in geologic time

Aslam o Alaikum,

Climate change is a broader term but the term 'Global Warming' implies "Climate change due to human intervention"

In recent usage, especially in the context of environmental policy, climate change usually refers to changes in modern climate (global warming). For information on temperature measurements over various periods, and the data sources available, see temperature record. For attribution of climate change over the past century, see attribution of recent climate change.

the term global warming merely implies increase in earth's atmospheric temperature and can be caused by human intervention as well as by natural phenomena like solar radiation and volcanoes. This natural global warming was observed mostly in first half of 20th century while from then onwards anthropogenic global warming has taken the lead.

Global warming is the increase in the average temperature of the Earth's near-surface air and oceans since the mid-20th century and its projected continuation. Global surface temperature increased 0.74 ± 0.18 °C (1.33 ± 0.32 °F) during the last century.[1][A] The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concludes that most of the observed temperature increase since the middle of the 20th century was caused by increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases resulting from human activity such as fossil fuel burning and deforestation.


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_change
Climate change is a change in the statistical distribution of weather over periods of time that range from decades to millions of years. It can be a change in the average weather or a change in the distribution of weather events around an average (for example, greater or fewer extreme weather events). Climate change may be limited to a specific region, or may occur across the whole Earth.

Anyhow whatever the case may be. What is more important is to know and share how to take start of the first pharagraph if we are to take on the above caption. In my opinion, and me analyse,criticise and appreciate if any, I would like to take a start in the following manner:

If a person fasces a problem of serious nature, he then needs to solve it. If that probem is faced by the society then it becomes more important to solve it. And if the problem is faced by the entire humanity then it becomes the most important task to takle it. In the given times serious problems are in plethora but it golbal warming that can be regarded to be the most dangerous problem for the future of humanity' survival and extinguish.

Please your dipassionate feedback.

can any body share complete essay with proper outline on Climate change ,its causes,effects and solution
