Seriously. Climate change is the most useless term, it doesn’t have the necessary oomph. Call it climate destruction.
I think The Guardian has committed a few years ago to call it the ‘climate crisis’ (they also have a dedicated category page with the title). But yeah, language matters. I tend to use climate catastrophe.
I like the name climate crisis. It’s formal sounding but conveys the direness of the situation much better than climate change.
I’m with you, I’ve started referring to it with this name. It’s apt, we’re in a current crisis not a situation that we will only see effects from generations from now. I talk to a lot of people who seem to think this is a next generation problem, even the current young generation.
Era of global boiling sounds very reassuring. When are our policy makers going to actually start acting?
When we’re at ‘vaporization’ I guess
Don’t look up.
Since the media makes excuses for the rednecks who shoot up malls (“they’re suffering from economic anxiety!”), I should get a free pass to slap the ever-loving shit out of a Koch brother, on account of my climate anxiety.
