The term "Global Warming" is inaccurate and does not reflect what really is
going on. The term that should be used is "Climate Change."
Climate change is any long-term significant change in the "average
weather"
that a given region experiences. Average weather may include average
temperature, precipitation and wind patterns. It involves changes in the
variability or average state of the atmosphere over durations ranging from
decades to millions of years. These changes can be caused by dynamic
process
on Earth, external forces including variations in sunlight intensity, and
more recently by human activities.
You could look in Google News for articles about the weather that prove
that
what is going on is CLIMATE CHANGE.
Climate change isn't private to just EArth. The other planets are doing
the same!
WHICH MEANS IT IS CYCLIC!
