>Actually, I DO believe that the majority of CO2 emissions are caused by human activity - perhaps we should all stop breathing. Every time we exhale we are spewing CO2 into the atmosphere - not to mention what kind of green house gasses are coming out of the other end of human beings and farm animals ;)

FWIW, it was Republican operative Frank Luntz who pushed to say "climate change" instead of "global warming."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Luntz

"Although Luntz later tried to distance himself from the Bush administration policy, it was his idea that administration communications reframe "global warming" as "climate change" since "climate change" was thought to sound less severe."

That sentence is footnoted to this article: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2003/mar/04/usnews.climatechange
