I thought the new term was “climate crisis.”

They can call it whatever they want, either way it’s a bunch of bullcrap.

The article states that Climate Change is used because it accounts for more variations than Global Warming, which is exactly what they are saying is false. The rationale being that Global Warming is still valid, so both terms are used.

It is exactly like a con man going from city to city, changing his name so as not to be trailed by the ripped off denizens from the previous cities.

Here is a clue. When someone changes the terminology of something, anything, there is a scam running.

Global Climate Change is much better than Global Cooling or Global Warming because it is not falsifiable.

Is it warmer today than average? It is because of Global Climate Change.

Is it cooler than average? It is Global Climate Change.

Is it wetter, dryer, more windy, less windy, cloudier, less cloudy? It doesn’t matter! No matter what the weather happens to be, it is because of Global Climate Change.

Womyn and minorities hardest hit.

That’s an awful lot of words to deny what everyone knows is true.

The scam is that a small group of wealthy and powerful insiders plan to rip off the peons—they can call it whatever they want....

Fact Check:

The notion that mankind is capable of changing the climate is False.

The matter of putting a label on the lie is irrelevant, except to the propagandists.

“The term ‘global warming’ confuses people because it triggers thoughts about warmth, and it sort of lends itself to misinterpretation when it also impacts the cold,” said Mike Hulme, a professor of human geography at the University of Cambridge whose work focuses on the way climate change is discussed in public and political conversations.

Just like "2 weeks to flatten the curve," "climate change" means everything BUT.

Someone should confront her publicly and say to her and the audience something like

“what you just stated is so far from the truth that you should be truly ashamed for trying to foist auch a lie on the public. Either that or your ignorance knows no bounds - so which is it?”

Even that would likely have little effect.
As Dennis Prager has noted, the Left lacks any sense of introspection; they condemn others for what they say and do, refusing to recognize that it applies to them as well ... often even moreso.

They re-branded it as “Climate Change” after they realized that a 2 degree F higher temperature in 100 years was desirable for many people who intended to retire in Florida so they didn’t have to shovel out of their house in the winter. It is 2 degrees warmer at noon than at 11 am, every day, so people are more worried about inflation, crime, energy poverty, teachers grooming their kids. But “Climate Change” can mean more snow, more hurricanes, risk to the endangered prairie dog and snail darter, hence the re-branding.

“Left lacks any sense of introspection; they condemn others for what they say and do, refusing to recognize that it applies to them as well ... often even moreso.”

That is an excellent description of the sociopath personality.

In a sane society these people would be shunned—and many would be institutionalized because they are a risk to themselves and others.
