As a result, should we be looking to re-label 'global warming by human action' to enable people to more easily identify the distinction between natural climate change and anthropogenic climate change?
To go back to the original question then! I'm not sure as people are still going to use whichever label fits in best with them at the time. Unfortunately so many people are caught up in the materialistic trap that I don't think it will work; it's a label that will just get pushed aside for the main part. As it's caused by a bit of both perhaps one should never be mentioned without the other but how you work that one around the media who knows!
