OK, then by that definition the cooling we are experiencing now (in the northern hemisphere) is climate change, as is the warming trend that will start around March or April :-)

Of course there are warming & cooling cycles in nature, ranging from it generally being warmer in the afternoon than in the middle of the night up to the ~10,000 year long Milankovitch cycles Milankovitch cycles - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia that drive ice ages. We understand these things (or at least those of us who bother to learn anything about science instead of indulging in wish fulfillment fantasies do), and we know that they're all normal & natural, and have very little to do with the current & future climate change being driven by CO2 from fossil fuels.
