What’s In A Name? Global Warming vs Climate Change
Yale Project on Climate Change Communication: Bridging Science and Society ^ | May 2014 | Bridgers of Science and Society

Posted on 07/07/2014 9:38:56 AM PDT by rface

We found that the term "global warming" is associated with greater public understanding, emotional engagement, and support for personal and national action than the term "climate change."

For example, the term “global warming” is associated with:......[ blahh, blahh, blahh... ]

Our findings strongly suggest that the terms global warming and climate change are used differently and mean different things in the minds of many Americans.... Americans are four times more likely to say they hear the term global warming in public discourse than climate change. Likewise, Americans are twice as likely to say they personally use the term global warming than climate change in their own conversations.

KEYWORDS: change; climate; global; warming
perhaps Yale strategists needs to change "Climate Change" replacing it with a new terms for the "Hair On Fire" crowd....(HOF Crowd) such as:

“You will be burnt to a crisp and die.”

or

“your cities will be ravaged by tsunamis and floods”

or

“earth will be a fiery hellhole incapable of supporting human life.”

or

“your future will involve rowing a boat down a river of rotting corpses.”

I predict the term Climate Disruption will gain footing.

“Climate Change” is simply an admission of failure of theory. There is always change so it is also meaningless.

The first thing that comes to my mind in either case is bullsh”t.

Not so fast. There might be something to this “Global Warming” thing. Here in the northeast, the last few weeks the average daily has been in the high 80s/low 90s. That’s triple what it was just 6 months ago.

The only survey that should be given to liberals:

* If humans are destroying the planet, are you willing to kill yourself to save Mother Earth?
* If yes, please finish this survey then save the planet immediately.
* If no, why not?

As it becomes more evident that the earth has actually cooled over the past decade, I fully expect to hear at some point: “The models were not interpreted correctly! CO2 actually cause cooling!”

“The models were not interpreted correctly! CO2 actually causes cooling!”

This would be a more effective argument. Cooling is far more dangerous to humanity than warming and is better supported by the data.

Worth repeating in larger in font.

The East Anglia University email dump has already proven that “Man Made Global Warming” is a complete hoax. The leftist have been caught red handed. Download and read the PDF document by John Costella. He covers, line by line, all the fraud committed by faux scientist Michale Mann (who should be in prison).

I remember in the 1970s when it was called “THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT!”.
I believe the name got lost somewhere in the coming ICE AGE propaganda at that time.

I do remember when Popular Science editorialized that they would no longer use the term “greenhouse effect” as it was not true.

About eight years later Popular Science hopped on the GLOBAL WARMING bandwagon.
