The terms "climate change" and "global warming" are often used interchangeably.
Generally WWF use the more scientifically accurate term "climate change", but we often use "global warming" as it remains popular in public discourse.
This definition from the NASA website is perhaps the best way to approach the two labels.
"Global warming refers to surface temperature increases, while climate change includes global warming and everything else that increasing greenhouse gas amounts will affect."
