Scientific American magazine announced Monday that it would stop using the term "climate change" in articles about man-made global warming and substitute "climate emergency" instead.

"Journalism should reflect what science says: the climate emergency is here," Scientific American senior editor Mark Fischetti said in a Monday post about the magazine's decision.

To make his point, Fischetti pointed to the mounting number of weather-related disasters that most scientists agree stem from climate change.

"A hurricane blasts Florida. A California dam bursts because floods have piled water high up behind it. A sudden, record-setting cold snap cuts power to the entire state of Texas," Fischetti wrote. "These are also emergencies that require immediate action. Multiply these situations worldwide, and you have the biggest environmental emergency to beset the earth in millennia: climate change."

Is it enough of an emergency that they’ve quit driving cars, given up air conditioning, and quit printing the bird-cage liner version of their artilces?

Nah, I didn’t think so.

Oh....a hurricane “blasts” Florida.

Like that never happened centuries and centuries ago.

What do these idiots at the “Unscientific UnAmerican” think caused the Spanish galleons to sink in the 1500’s?

The only thing that’s warming up is the drama. Where do you go after “emergency”, “disaster”? “Catastrophe”? “Armageddon”? “Götterdämmerung”? A scruffy-looking robin crapped on my jeep today. I think I’ll call it “Spring”.

I think we should call a “journalism emergency” re Scientific American. It is so far left that it would fall off the earth if the whole editorial staff farted at the same time.

I once read SA because it had good scientific articles. Over the decades, under a couple of leftist owners/editors, it has shifted farther to the Left than Joe Biden.

Emergency! Emergency Will Robbins”.

A California dam bursts because floods have piled water high up behind it it was in disrepair thanks to the state of CA misusing Federal funds allocated for its maintenance.

They got away with seizing dictatorial powers with the COVID “emergency.” They realize they have less than two years before the next election to declare a climate change “emergency” and seize dictatorial powers forever. It is beginning.

How apropos...  

[Archie Bunker on steroids]

This is the same magazine that became the first science publication to officially endorse a presidential candidate....guess who. They broke ranks because the other candidate fails to take science seriously. Non partisan science publication my back side... wonder who owns it...Disney?

Don’t know a thing about this guy but why wait until now? I’d bet it has something to do with an ominous budget tweak.
