What is the difference between global warming and climate change?

Although people tend to use these terms interchangeably, global warming is just one aspect of climate change.
“Global warming” refers to the rise in global temperatures due mainly to the increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
“Climate change” refers to the increasing changes in the measures of climate over a long period of time – including precipitation, temperature, and wind patterns.
