It's not normal. The earth is warming up when it shouldn't be.

They didn't rename it. Global Warming and Climate change mean 2 different things. "Global warming" refers to the long-term trend of a rising average global temperature
"Climate Change" refers to the changes in the global climate which result from the increasing average global temperature. For example, the warming of the oceans brought on by global warming, can create stronger hurricanes. Warmer ocean water is more dense, causes more flooding etc and affects the climate.
The term "Climate Change" is used in place of "Global Warming" on places like Fox News and Global Warming deniers improperly but is also done on purpose by various people in power because it sounds less scary than global warming. So even when they are actually talking about Global Warming they will still say "Climate Change", using the term wrong.
