The Book "Don't think of an Elephant" by George Lakoff covers how the term "climate change" has been pushed by those with a status-quo agenda, to reduce the urgency and engagement with "global warming". The linked article uses both, but global warming more dominantly, including "heating" in the headline.

I always thought climate change was just a more accurate term, because global warming implies that everywhere gets warmer, which isn't necessarily so.

"Global warming" was bad branding because stupid/dishonest people smugly use any instance of unusual cold weather as an argument against it.
