Liberals invent terms to control the argument. "Climate change" is one of the best examples. If a liberal asks a politician, "What are you going to do about climate change?" and the politician accepts the question without first requiring a precise definition of "climate change," that politician has already lost the argument.

The UN called it “climate change” all the way back in 1988. The IPCC was never the IPGW.

I find liberals (especially in the media) like to yell, “climate change” when they want to change the subject.

IRS targeting discussion leads to a discussion about .... climate change.

Discussions of ISIS lead to .......... climate change.

Benghazi .... climate change.

Fast and Furious ........ climate change.

$18 trillion in debt ........ climate change.

Illegals ........ climate change.

Beheadings ......... climate change.

“Liberals invent terms to control the argument.”

It’s thrust and parry all the way down.
Remember when anti-abortion morphed into pro-life?
Then pro-abortion became pro-choice.

Propagandists choose the words that put the best light on their cause be they left or right of center. News reporting would be a lot more objective if editors forbade the use of adjectives.

Climate Change is the ridiculous, unscientific Putty of Leftists.

Less people are believing it daily.
Only a loon would still promote this lie.

Proof:
Bill Nye and Al Gore are STILL trying to get the young and the feeble minded to believe it.

As FReepers consider the following critique against global warming politics, please bear in mind that such politics are arguably traceable to the ill-conceived 17th Amendment.

Regarding so-called climate change global warming, even if global warming was as bad as global warming alarmists want everybody to believe, it remains that the states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate, tax and spend for global warming purposes.

In fact, the Supreme Court has clarified that Congress is prohibited from appropriating taxes for anything that it cannot justify under its Constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers, so-called global warming remedies not among those powers.

“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.

The major constitutional problem with federal funding of global warming issues, imo, is that the corrupt federal Senate is not doing its job to kill House appropriations bills that provide unconstitutional funding in the name of global warming. So such funding is just another item to add to the growing list of reasons to repeal the 17th Amendment.

The real tragedy in this charade is the damage to the scientific community as a whole. These people are like the boy who cried wolf. One of these days, they may be right about something, but no one is going to listen to them.
