They changed the terminology because that's the sciency thing to do when more evidence emerges. 'Change' accounts for more than just warming. It encompasses extremes and occurrences of stronger storms in cold or warmth.

What is causing climate change?
https://www.theccc.org.uk/tackling-climate-ch...n-factors/
Geological records stretching back millions of years indicate a number of large variations in Earth’s past climate. These have been caused by many natural factors, including changes in the sun, volcanoes, Earth’s orbit and CO2 levels.
However, comprehensive assessment by scientists shows that it is extremely likely that human activity has been the dominant cause of warming since the mid-20th Century.
Greenhouse gas emissions
Evidence that CO2 emissions are the cause of global warming is very robust. Scientists have known since the early 1800s that greenhouse gases in the atmosphere trap heat.
Global CO2 emissions from human activity have increased by over 400% since 1950. As a result, the concentration of CO2 in the air has reached more than 400 parts per million by volume (ppm), compared to about 280ppm in 1750 (around the start of the Industrial Revolution
