Maybe this will become more common in the UK

global warming = related to climate change

Related yes. The same, no.

Global warming revolved around the theory that the world was heating up (self-explanatory) and that man was to blame (I used past tense and it has pretty much been buried in the ground).
Climate changes follows a more reasonable theory that the world's climate would be or is erratic. That is to say, you get extremes in both hot and cold weather conditions, which made more sense than global warming and follows common sense and logic, though it still hints towards man being to blame but it depends which sub-theory you follow - climate change due to man or climate change due to nature.

I thought I'd quit this forum, but browsing for the first time in a while today, I have been tempted to post by some misinformed (in some cases idiotic) people.

The following quotes are from this report:

THE LOOMING THREAT OF GLOBAL COOLING
Geological Evidence for Prolonged Cooling Ahead and its Impacts
Prof. Don J. Easterbrook

"Numerous, abrupt, short-lived warming and cooling episodes, much more intense than recent warming/cooling, occurred during the last Ice Age and in the 10,000 years that followed, none of which could have been caused by changes in atmospheric CO2 because they happened before CO2 began to rise sharply around 1945."

"Ten major, intense periods of abrupt climate change occurred over the past 15,000 years and another 60 smaller, sudden climate changes have occurred in the past 5000 years. The intensity and suddenness of these climatic fluctuations is astonishing. Several times, temperatures rose and fell from 9–15° F in a century or less."

"The dramatic melting of continental glaciers in North America, Europe, and Asia that began 15,000 years ago was interrupted by sudden cooling 12,800 years ago, dropping the world back into the Ice Age. Continental and alpine glaciers all over the world ceased their retreat and re-advanced. This cold period, the Younger Dryas, lasted for 1300 years and ended abruptly with sudden, intense warming 11,500 years ago. The climate in Greenland warmed about 9° F in about 30 years and 15° F over 40 years. During the Younger Dryas cold period, glaciers not only expanded significantly, but also fluctuated repeatedly, in some places as many as nine times.
Temperatures during most of the last 10,000 were somewhat higher than at present until about 3,000 years ago. For the past 700 years, the Earth has been coming out of the Little Ice Age and generally warming with alternating warm/cool periods."

"Atmospheric CO2 began to rise sharply right after WWII in 1945 but was accompanied by global cooling for 30 years, rather than by warming, and the earlier warm period from 1915 to 1945 took place before CO2 began to rise significantly."

PDO = Pacific Decadal Oscillation (pacific ocean surface temperature fluctuations).

"[This can be established]

1. The PDO has a regular cyclic pattern with alternating warm and cool modes every 25-30 years
2. The PDO has accurately matched each global climate change over the past century and may be used as a predictive tool.
3. Since the switch of the PDO from warm to cool in 1999, global temperatures have not exceeded the 1998 high.
4. Each time the PDO has changed from one mode to another, it has stayed in that mode for 25-30 years; thus, since the switch of the PDO from warm to cool in 1999 has been entrenched, it will undoubtedly stay in its cool mode for another several decades.
5. With the PDO in cool mode for another several decades, we can expect another several decades of cooling."

If you don't read/skip this post, you're a moron who doesn't deserve a place in this thread.

We did global warming today in science

Humans make the less co2 about 6.5 gigatones, plants and animals make 150 gigatones and oceans make the most co2

(this probs made no sence.)

CO2 is irrelevant anyway. Plus the oceans don't 'make' it, they store it and release it after temperatures rise (true story).
