Global warming is suppose to refer to the overall planet warmth (which does happen). That's why it's global. Climate change is suppose to be a political neutral term and it's also very vague.

Being vague is the only way to be accurate in this case though. Global warming is accurate if you know what it really means, which most people don't so it's more misleading than just Climate Change.

Global warming, it's when the entire planet on average experiences a rise in temperature. But, there will be places that experience a huge rise, but there will also be places that experience a huge fall. Such as northern Europe - if the ice caps melt northern Europe will no longer be a temperate climate. Since the ocean current is what delivers the heat up north that far and it will shut down with all the access sea water. It would be more like northern Canada. It'd be extremely cold for most the year and warm in the summer months.

It won't be cold like the tundra or ice caps though. Just cold.

But it is accurate and it is the commonly excepted term for it. Climate change just refers to a change in the climate and is often used to refer to things other then global warming. That's why it's politically neutral.
