You jest but first it was global warming, then global cooling, than warming again and finally climate change. What it should be is "atmospheric CO2 level rise"
Instead we got decades of alarmist and bogus predictions. its no surprise that so many folks are so dismissive now.
The fact that it's not just a rise on CO2 or the fact that a growth in one season is not a trend is exactly what the deniers will batten on to as proof positive that human mediated climate change is not happening.
A large part of the denialists increasingly strident position is that there might be climate change happening but that humans have had little to no impact on it so continuing to burn fossil fuels won't have an impact.
I'd be fascinated to see the evidence that have been decades of alarmist and bogus predictions.
