• I feel like climate change is also bad tbh, “change” isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

      Maybe “climate worsening”, or “climate rot” or just “climate collapse”. Just to make it explicitly clear that shit will get worse.

        Some places will also get better in some ways.

        To give an extreme example, there are many problems with melting the north but some people will benefit from “the northwest passage” being open to shipping year round

        If I were really short-sighted …. I do appreciate not shoveling snow off my driveway very often and almost never using my snowblower anymore

      No, I think we did damage when we stopped calling it global warming when it was applicable. The whole planet is getting warmer, which creates changes in climates, and eventually destabilizes and then collapses existing climates.

      Global warming is what is causing climate change, and humans are what is causing global warming.

        Yeah, but nobody listens to the whole explanation. They just hear “everything will always be hot, but it snowed just last February, so obviously global warming is a hoax.”
