My choice name is "Global Pollution Epidemic"

I think it really captures what the the problem is, rather then making it some concept that seems abstract and immovable to the average person. Lots of people deny climate change, almost no one denies that humans pollute a lot.

People don't see effects of any pollution that isn't particulates or perhaps deadly spew into potable water. So it is as dead on arrival as global warming. "But the air is clean here!"

Climate change sounds too neutral. It should've been called climate destruction or such, but the name was picked by Big Oil.

Seeing the (end) effects doesn't matter. Everyone sees pollution directly, whether the simple knowledge that the sea of cars on the freeway in front of them is burning gas, or just seeing litter all over the place. "Pollution" is a tangible thing everyone experiences.

Telling people there is a pollutions epidemic, that is something they can immediately relate too. It doesn't matter that the smoke stack they drive past every day is just water vapor, they hear "pollution epidemic", they see what they interpret as pollution, their brain tells them "yeah, this is real".

Remember this phrasing isn't for educated or knowledgeable people, it's for common folk who don't put much thought into anything.
