Happy New Year!
The problem - as I suspect you already know - with such an elastic definition of "climate change" is that it eliminates the fundamental scientific principle of FALSIFIABILITY.
If, no matter what happens, it's "proof"... then it's not a theory.
Happy New Year to you, too.
Thirty seconds of thought ought to reveal that the term is vague and covers all the bases. Forest fires? Climate change. No temperature increase? Climate change.
Cops joke about the mysterious stranger who shows up to put stolen merchandise in the hands of a perpetrator and then takes off. "That guy" defense exonerates everyone.
