The name "global change" includes climate change but is not limited to
that topic. Demographics, resource issues (food, water, energy),
biodiversity and ecological sustainability, and other global pollution
issues (ozone depletion, anthropogenic radioactivity, global
distribution of trace chemicals) are on topic here.
Francis Bretherton, at the time the director of NCAR, (personal
communication) claimed to have coined the phrase "global change", in
reaction to the rather terrifying rubric of "global habitability" that
was emerging in the 1980s.
