Since “climate change” alarmism has flopped, the same scammers are now toying with a new phrase they hope will sound more urgent (Natural News) Climate change alarmists aren’t quite getting the results they’d like with their current approach, so they’re doing what any smart business people would do when their product isn’t selling: switching to a new marketing tactic. Now, they’re trying to get a more urgent-sounding phrase for the issue to catch on – one that they hope will spur more people into taking actions that will further their political causes and line their pocketbooks. Writing in Ad Age, professional brand strategist Aaron Hall said that he feels terms like “global warming” and “climate change” are too neutral and don’t grab enough attention. He points to the example of the “hypothesis of the primeval atom,” a scientific term that never really resonated in the 1900s. However, a rebranding as the “Big Bang” a few decades later has made it a household term that most people are familiar with these days. Climate change isn’t really specific; climate, by its very nature, changes regularly. Global warming, Hall says, was initially favored by politicians because it sounded like a reason to worry, but it’s something that’s too easy to dispute because there are also times when our planet gets colder. His team came up with some ideas that they apparently hope will scare more people into voting for liberals. He said: “We need these folks to understand the severity of what’s happening to their planet and inspire them to make more eco-friendly life choices and pro-climate choices at the ballot box.” In that spirit, two of his top choices are “global meltdown” and “global melting.” He believes that the feeling of “melting” when it’s really hot is something people can relate to, while a “meltdown” calls to mind a nuclear meltdown, which is something that certainly inspires fear.

Another set of terms that he also deemed adequately frightening were “climate chaos” and “climate collapse.” Meanwhile, he identified “scorched earth” as an edgy choice that paints a dire picture that is more likely to scare the masses. Lots of efforts underway to change the narrative This is far from a one-man effort, by the way. A group of climate-related NGOs like the Sierra Club, Greenpeace, and Al Gore’s Climate Reality Project sent a letter to the major TV networks begging them to start referring to climate change as a “crisis.” The group, which calls itself Call it a Crisis, wrote: “We are urging you to call the dangerous overheating of our planet and the lack of action to stop it what it is — a crisis — and to cover it like one.” They said that the topic needs to be covered with language signaling that it’s a “true emergency,” and they offered to connect them with “experts” who they feel can communicate their message. In May, UK newspaper The Guardian announced that it had changed its house style guide to replace the term “climate change” with “climate emergency, crisis or breakdown”. They also updated the term “climate skeptic” to the more aggressive “climate science denier.” Of course, if the situation really were so dire, would anyone need to beg the networks to cover it? Would it be necessary to play with words at all? True collapse and chaos would be obvious to everyone. As James Murphy wrote in the New American, “Rebranding is something politicians and salespeople do – not scientists.” This climate change rebranding is nothing more than another attempt at using semantics to scare people into compliance. They want to convince people to give up their appliances, cars, and eventually, their freedom in the name of saving the planet. |

Hi Awen, Keep in mind that sea level is never static, it is always changing. We currently live in the Holocene which has low sea levels compared to previous interglacials. 120,000 years ago during the Eemian interglacial sea level was 20-30 ft higher than today. Further back the MIS 11 interglacial had sea levels up to 60 ft higher than today. Many locations in low areas will be in big trouble as sea level rises. Cheers Jim |

So why ignore what is happening At least funding will need to be found and spent to mitigate its effects, if not the causes. If sea defences on a scale of the Netherlands aren't invested in coastal populations and businesses will need somehow to relocate further inland. Meanwhile Trump wants more coal mining while New Orleans floods - maybe he'll wake up when Trump Towers becomes an island with an ocean view. |

Hi Alan, > So why ignore what is happening The people ignoring what is happening are those that ignore where the source of these emissions are coming from. If Trump had kept the US in the Paris Climate agreement China was going to peak their emissions by 2030 and global emissions would have kept rising. Now that Trump pulled out of the Paris Climate agreement China is still going to peak their emissions by 2030 and emissions will keep rising. Personally I think we should focus more on mitigation. Because until fossil fuels can be replaced emissions will keep rising no matter what political party is in office. And sea levels are unusually low in the context of the interglacials of the last half million years so we certainly should plan on rising sea levels and flooding of locations at or below the current sea levels. Hopefully we will stop building in places such as New Orleans that are already below sea level. Cheers Jim |

Well that is probably no more or less effective than blaming Trump. I have no solution either, except mitigation strategies. That would be much more effective than the yearly climate summits last that have spawned Kyoto and Paris which both exempted what everyone knew was the source of 21st century emissions. Cheers Jim |

Hi Logan, the crisis may arrive sooner than later however not in the climate change alarmists' way. When their behinds go into deep freeze mode because the air temperatures are headed into the icy region for several months then there is a good chance they come after your hot cocoa calling you a thief of the warmth they deserve and before you know it your hot cocoa is all gone. It is not only highly arrogant in a most unscientific fashion but also stupid beyond the edge of the universe to ignore the fundamental fact that earth's climate is directly coupled to what the sun is doing energy-wise which in turn is reflected in the number of sunspots as far back as a chronology of sunspots and solar observations exists. So you better be prepared to hold on to your hot cocoa reserves. Those prospective icy climate deniers with freezing behinds can easily outsmart you when they feel a need to warm up with your hot and high energy drink. It is called the "freezing behinds law". sequoia |
