Climate change alarmists are pushing for a change in vocabulary to scare people into taking global warming more seriously, starting with terms like “global meltdown” and “climate collapse.”
Writing for AdAge this week, Aaron Hall argues that in order to get people to “take action” against climate change, “rebranding” is crucial, since people have gotten too used to the idea that climate is changing and need to be shocked into the notion that the world as we know it is ending.
“Is there a better way to convey the urgency of the situation, while also encouraging folks to take action? Could the tools of branding and brand naming create a more resonant, powerful name?” Mr. Hall asks.

Great! Now I can be a climate collapse denier or climate meltdown denier in addition to being a climate change denier, global warming denier, acid rain denier, ozone layer denier and global cooling denier.
My first thought too. “Climate Wolf”, like in that fable. What was it now? “The little climate boy who cried wolf?
Indeed. The earth would be much better served if all Climate Nazis offered their bodies as fertilizer for farmlands.
Why don’t they just call it what it is...leftist insanity?
...and them what they are: Godless Morons with an agenda.
God has taken care of the Earth for eons. That isn’t good enough anymore? His evil spawn have to take over?
Dear psycho libs,
No one believes you want to save anything at all other than your own power.
Really, we aren’t stupid, nor are we a bunch of empty headed children who believe anything our teacher tells else.
Their biggest problem is that the “meltdown”, or “collapse” they predicted would have already happened, and it didn’t, even though the media continue to promote the ongoing nonexistent catastrophe.
Pretty hard to take them seriously.
Give it up. We aren’t buying it.
I spent Tx g-ing with two climate nuts. There is no reasoning with them. It’s all tilting at windmills all the time.
We used to call them “SEASONS”.
That's great it starts with an earth quake.
Doesn’t faze them that NONE of their calamitous predictions came to pass. None. Zero. Not one. Ever. Period.
Back in the day, we were headed into an ice age. Globull warming saved us that terrible fate. Cheers for globull warming! Thank goodness the climate keeps changing every season so winter has cooled off the terrible warming and thus the globull meltdown. Well, the southern hemisphere will have to struggle on for another six months.
Suggestion:
“The Sky is Falling!!!”
Rebranding? How about “Climate Absolutely Positively This Time For Sure We’re Not Kidding It’s All Over Disaster (if you don’t give us your money)”?
What'll they think of next?
George Orwell was a prophet.
"Liberalism" was re-named "progressivism". When one newspeak cliché gets so tired it only provokes a yawn, they re-name it, but it's the same old bunkum.
Lol, pretty much...
I suppose "Exaggerated Redistributionist Fiction" is too long for the headlines ...
They change it every few years — for greater impact.
Still, winter is cold and summer is hot, each with variations from mild to severe.
Global meltdown? Climate collapse? In the 60s and 70s it was the hole in the ozone they wanted to ‘close’. Later, it was determined that the hole opens and closes — naturally.
The biggest threat to the planet is these loons who come up with bizarre and dangerous plans to try to change Nature.
