If you talk about "Climate Change" I believe more than if you're referring to the "Global Warming". The authors of a study examining the websites of "think tank" Americans are surprised by this phenomenon. And it is true, as asserted in the study, the use of words greatly affect opinions. But they do not realize, it seems that in this case the two expressions are very different: that the climate is changing "no rain" that the planet is really warming up so huge is another story. Many citizens, increasingly, are skeptical of the famous "warm", not because of the use of words because when more and more experts will offer more data that suggest that it is not so clear. For ten years the global temperature of the planet earth does not increase.
Indeed, they are the propagators of the heating to have folded in recent years on the mildest change. Go to realize that, after so much tam tam, climate you are not heating up more.

''''GLOBAL WARMING OR CLIMATE CHANGE''''? Whether
THE PLANET IS WARMING QUESTION Depends on wording
THE PLANET IS WARMING QUESTION Depends on wording

Abstract In public discourse and survey research, global climate change is sometimes referred to as ‘‘global warming’’ and sometimes as ‘‘climate change.’’ An analysis of web sites of conservative and liberal think tanks suggests that conservatives prefer to use the term ‘‘global warming’’ whereas liberals prefer ‘‘climate change.’’ A question wording experiment (N 1⁄4 2267) illustrates the power of these frames: Republi- cans were less likely to endorse that the phenomenon is real when it was referred to as ‘‘global warming’’ (44.0%) rather than ‘‘climate change’’ (60.2%), whereas Democrats were unaffected by question wording (86.9% vs. 86.4%). As a result, the partisan divide on the issue dropped from 42.9 percentage points under a ‘‘global warming’’ frame to 26.2 percentage points under a ‘‘climate change’’ frame. Theoretical and meth- odological implications are discussed.

'Cambiamento climatico' o 'riscaldamento globale'?
In the United States, 60 percent of those who call themselves Republicans believes that climate change is a reality, but only 44 real considers global warming
Many U.S. citizens are skeptical about global warming, but in reality their skepticism varies systematically according to the words that are used to describe the phenomenon. And 'the findings from a survey conducted by researchers at the University of Michigan, who published the results in the journal Public Opinion Quarterly .
Basically more people than you believe in climate change they do not think global warming is occurring: 74 percent of the respondents consider that the real problem is when you refer to talking about climate change, while the percentage drops to 68 when it comes to global warming.
This difference, the researchers note, could result from the different associations of ideas that are stimulated by the two terms. "As global warming brings attention on temperature, climate change focuses on the more general change. Then one day an unusually cold can increase the doubts about the phenomenon of heating up that much to change," says Jonathon Schuldt first petitioner Article
In the study the researchers also analyzed the use of these terms in relation to the political orientation and found that liberals and conservatives had a different attitude towards the two expressions.
First, they analyzed as a series of Web sites that refer to groups of intellectuals and democratic republican area, noting that the first phenomenon is mostly referred to as global warming, while in the latter is spoken in general climate change. When he went to see the statements of political orientation of respondents, they found that the solution to the problem were in close correlation with it.
60 percent of those who said they were Republicans believed that climate change is a reality, but only 44 thought the real global warming. Among those who called themselves Democrats or independent, the phenomenon is of concern to 86 percent of respondents, regardless of the name that is displayed.
