The original term was "greenhouse warming" which neatly incorporated the cause of the problem (accumulation of greenhouse gasses) and the effect (planetary warming).  PR first changed the language to "global warming" which got rid of the cause, then to "climate change" which leaves it all wide open; maybe the planet is cooling?

The radical honest media is now calling it global heating. I saw that 
first in The Guardian, but then noticed it in other publications as 
well, one or two. Heating is far more scary than warming, which is frog 
in the pot dangerous. Global Burning may be more appropriate now and 
might start to get attention.

HNY 2020, Linkers. Let's hope it's going to be better than last year. 
I'm afraid the trend over the last few years hasn't been stellar on that 
direction, though.
