The term “global warming” first appeared in print in a scientific journal article authored by an American geochemist in 1975. I think the mistake isn’t the naming, as it’s an accurate name that succinctly describes the issue. I think the mistake was not realizing how profoundly science illiterate the American public was at the time and still continues to be.
