Climate change is a more accurate description than global warming because it takes into account variations around the globe, but that doesn't mean overall the earth is getting warmer. The increase in ice in Antarctica is relatively modest compared to the decrease in the Arctic.
Most scientists agree that it is a) happening and b) human activities are contributing to it, which is not to say that the climate will not change anyway. If it is human activity that's causing it and the build up continues, then we're screwed. And if there is any conspiracy theory at work here it will most likely be related to reasons who's funding the denial. Follow the money.
