A physicist most certainly would use the term "global warming". That
is the consequence of a global energy imbalance, where the energy
absorbed from the Sun exceeds the energy re-radiated to space. That
results in warming, and it is the higher temperatures that drive
climate change and produce more extreme weather events. Not the energy
in any other form. The excess energy is being stored in the Earth, in
the atmosphere, and above all in the oceans in the form of heat.
