The two terms are interchangeable. Global warming was the first term used, because it was an accurate representative description of what was happening globally. But then a group of people started to make less than intelligent commentaries about it not being warm in their part of the world, so Global Warming must be wrong. These individuals, who failed to understand weather patterns and dynamics of the systems, required a term that would appeal to their senses so Climate Change was born. They both speak to the same issue. Climate change is more widely used now.
