Not OP - I've been exposed to Climate Change news to the point of possible depression but I've never seen the concept referred to as AGCC before too

    One way that serves a purpose is in making it clear that this isn't just some natural variance going on, for example in taking on the hand-wavers who like to say 'oh, it all goes in cycles; nothing to worry about!'

    So GCC sometimes gets appended with an "A" for "anthropomorphic" to make it crystal clear that (just like the Holocene Extinction) it's largely (or wholly) man-made. Personally I tend to fluctuate between terms, mainly based on recency bias and just whatever my naked ape brain happens to settle on. :P
