4 differences between global warming and climate change

Global warming refers only to the Earth's rising surface temperature, while climate change includes warming and the “side effects” of warming—like melting glaciers, heavier rainstorms, or more frequent drought. ... Climate change, on the other hand, can mean human-caused changes or natural ones, such as ice ages.

Explanation:

The cold temperatures in the polar regions cause air to descend to create the high pressure (a process called subsidence), just as the warm temperatures around the equator cause air to rise to create the low pressure intertropical convergence zone.Closely related to this concept is the polar vortex.
