q.
When environmentalists proclaimed the first Earth Day, on this date in 1970, the air was filled with doomsday predictions. At the initial rallies to mark the day, people warned of overpopulation, a denuded planet, hundreds of millions of people starving to death, a new Ice Age or the greenhouse effect. Many — though not all, obviously — of those forecasts were off.

Forty-four years later, *human-caused climate change* [global warming] has grown into the dominant concern for environmentalists and governments. America’s environmental problems are less severe, thanks in part to a market economy’s ability to produce new technologies and in part to the political action that the environmental movement produced. But the global problem — like choking smog in developing economies, rising sea levels and the rise in the planet’s temperature — remains worrisome.
q..

Why don't these people simply say "global warming" instead of "climate change?" 

I agree with the "human-caused" part or theory, regardless of what phrase is used.

The concerned are talking about human-caused or human-accelerated global warming.
