Citing grave threat, Scientific American replaces 'climate change' with 'climate emergency'

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.

I was promised that everyone on earth would die by the year 2000 when CO2 reached 0.04%

Gotta ramp up the fear porn.

Climate change hysteria has taken a back seat to COVID hysteria.

I think it is because of feckless Biden these environweenies think this is an opportunity for a cash cow of government grants.

[Diogenesis]

by attacking those types of COLD FUSION which work
well (not F+P type), the USPTO and Scientific American
have PREVENTED further development, and they themselves
are 100% responsible for the absence of a clean environment.

they both should be investigated and punished.

"climate emergency"

"This time, we mean it."

Sounds like the Left fully completed their takeover of the magazine...so why hide their agenda, at this point?

[Nateman]

I suggest calling it ‘Climate Witchcraft’ to keep up with the spirit of the times.

1970 - Air pollution and over population will create a new ice age and global famine that will kill 100 - 200 million people per year. (Paul Ehrlich)

2021 - Awww, fug it! So all of our predictions for the past 50 years (new ice age, mass starvation, nuclear war, global warming, SARS, zombies, asteroid impacts, solar flares, and COVID) were total bullsh!t, but we are absolutely 100% sure that everybody is doomed in the next 10 years due to some unknown climate emergency unless you give us unlimited amounts of cash and do exactly what we say. You can trust us because we’re scientists and the science is settled.

Think that about sums it up. Aside from an alien invasion, is my list missing anything?

[Ken Regis]

TLDR
but...
No one should threaten graves.

[Nateman]

How about changing the name of the magazine instead?

State Science Institute American ?

Ministry of Truth American ?Science

People's Republic of Science American?

[Stravinsky]

If it’s such an emergency, why all the focus on “woke” political nonsense like microaggressions, BLM, etc. and other things that just take up time, energy, money, and ultimately divide people, Scientific American? You leftists certainly don’t act like it’s a climate emergency.

And at any rate, you’re wrong. SCIENCE journalism should use the terms scientists actually use. Substituting your own vocabulary just makes you a bunch of unscientific, activist fools.

[Fzob]

You’re missing the peak oil and y2K idiocy.

[no-s]

I think we should call a “journalism emergency”

I'm stealing that meme with the scare quotes. From now on I'll start referring to the "crisis in journalism" and the "journalism emergency" instead of "fake news".

[equaviator]

More like “Inexact Scientific American” magazine.

democrat party organizations are constantly terrorizing the population with threats and fear mongering.

"I think 4 is better"

Or, you could do 1 (or 2) big gifs.. (1 at maybe 70% size, or 2 at 35%/40% size) ;^)

So I've seen pictures of glaciers melting over the past 100 years, and pictures of ocean levels being the same over the past 100 years. So where did all the water go? Did magical water fairies drink it up?

Why aren't all major coastal cities underwater now like it was predicted in 1980? Why didn't the world end in 7 years as was predicted multiple times since 1980? Why the sudden and unexplainable shift from global cooling in 1979 to global warming in 1980? Why did 38 out of 39 super computer simulations completely fail their predictions for climate change? (The climate is better than those 38 predictions.)
