− | | | + | | Global comes from globe, but means so much more today. It is often used in contexts such as {{w|global warming}} or {{w|World war|global warfare}}. But since a globe is spherical, this substitution makes more sense than most, although talking about ''the effect of spherical warming'' would probably not get {{w|Greenpeace}} into action. Might be confusing if an actual physical object affecting Earth were described as being sphere-like, rather than as occuring around the globe. |
