It’s becoming more about how to save ourselves from the warming planet’s wild weather.

So they're moving from the "global warming" hoax to the "extreme weather" hoax.

Hoaxers gotta do what hoaxers gotta do.

I'd have to disagree with your description of them:

Hoaxers Scammers gotta do what hoaxers scammers gotta do.

A hoax is generally a harmless prank; this is anything but harmless.

So they're moving from the "global warming" hoax to the "extreme weather" hoax.

It's all about controlling the language to present their ideas on favorable/digestible terms.

Global Cooling -> Global Warming -> Climate Change and now to "Extreme Weather" (with "Global Dimming" thrown in for a short time). To adjust for the fact that each overhyped 'trend' could be refuted by people using their Mk.1 eyeballs.

Same thing happened with the word "Liberal". It was co-opted away from it's "Classical" positive meaning to describe statist policies and government. When those policies fell out of favor (taking down the term "Liberal" with it), they (Liberal Statists) turned instead to the old term "Progressive" (which had fallen out of favor decades before and had fallen into such disuse that it was easy to rehabilitate.

I really wish outside would be a little more "progressive" (vice "reactionary") and start taking command of the language ourselves. "Statist" is much more appropriate a term than either "Liberal" or "Progressive".

When it comes to Global Warming ... well, continued use of the term in the face of contrary evidence (and near-panic'd attempts to change to "Climate Change" or "Extreme Weather") actually argues for the retention of the term. Just stated in a very sarcastic way. "Liars" works just as well tho ...

After Hurricane Katrina we were told that Global Warming was causing us to experience more and more extreme hurricanes. The problem was it didn’t happen. Instead we have had a remarkably long period of no extreme hurricanes hitting the US coast.

Now whenever we have even a mild hurricane hit we are told it is Armageddon.

Weather happens. We have always had droughts and floods and we always will.
