"Global Warming" is an ACCURATE term. The AVERAGE global temperature is indeed rising. But it rise unevenly. And of course, Earth isn't a homogeneous sphere, it has land, water, the sea, variable terrain, ocean current, etc. The last thing is particularly important. In Geography, we learn that ocean current is of particular important to global and regional climate. For example, the reason why Africa, while being literally in the zone of tropical climate, is literally surrounded by seas, have a generally dry climate, is because of the fact that the ocean currents surrounding Africa are cold ones, and the terrain of Africa with high elevation making it hard for clouds to form inland.
Now, we have the average global temperature rising, which in turn heat up oceans currents, which in turn heat up the poles, whose ice melt into the ocean, decreasing the salinity of the surrounding area and the oceans currents that originate from the poles, which in turn mess with other ocean currents in never before seen ways, affecting global and regional climate, creating more extreme weather conditions.
Ultimately, I believe the most misleading thing about "gobal warming" or "climate change" education is the fact that we are told to "save the earth", "protect nature". The earth doesn't need saving, nature doesn't need our protection. If human one day get eradicated by climate change, all it takes is several thousand years for nature to get back on its course. All we are trying to do is to protect humanity future, yet we often fail to actually put this point across to the majority of people, so they see stopping climate change as something that doesn't concern them.
