>Even years before that, international institutions had paved the way for “climate change” to eventually become the prevalent term. The U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change was negotiated in 1992, and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change was established in 1988.

I mean...the scientific consensus was using that term prior to the 2002.

Global warming just became the popular choice after congressional testimonials and Al Gore's inconvenient truth came out in 2006.

It wasnt until more recently that we when back to climate change because we are now seeing the effects of it outside of just increasing temperatures. Before it was mostly rising temperatures but we werent seeing historic records being broken every year. Now its europe was on fire, china has a massive increasing desert and Mississippi reaching historics lows in water depth and africa having multi year droughts...etc.
