Feel free to call it either or. Climate Change is a thing, and is frankly the more significant and important thing to recognize. Global Warming is how the Climate is changing, but the genuine effects of Global Warming come through Climate Change.
This is easy to disprove. The sea levels were 20-40 feet (6m-12m) higher than they are today during Eemian interstadial (the previous glacial retreat, 115000-130000 years ago). This indicates that sea levels have not reached their peak height, and that humans have nothing to do with it.
That's an utterly stupid attempt at disproving Climate Change. Anyone who argues (and there were a few) that Climate doesn't change naturally at all is a retard of the highest proportions. Obviously the climate changes naturally, however, it is important to recognize that the human ecosystem has a major impact on the climate.
This is like saying there's no evidence that building a dam causes a river to change course because you have evidence that rivers have changed course without human action before. Obviously rivers change course. However, building dams still changes the course of rivers. Beavers change the course of rivers. Clearly humans can.
Humans, in particularly, are emitting a significant amount of CO2 into the atmosphere which is not part of the normal trend. There consequences of such high CO2 emissions will exist. When you change atmospheric composition, you will get tangible results.
Congratulations! You have just created a hokey stick graph.
Temperature graphs are pretty, but the whole set up for those graphs is extremely difficult to really verify. You can literally just see changing climates.
