What is that saying about the difficulty in trying to keep all the lies straight, when with the truth one only has to remember one thing — the truth.

The climatidiots redefine, alter, modify, redefine so much to support their claims that even they can’t keep them all straight. But, that is part of the reason for their frequent changes — to keep the public confused.

True. Like Clint Eastwood said “if you could reason with liberals, there wouldn’t be any liberals “

I can’t remember the last time I heard a “mainstream” talking head say “global warming” or “greenhouse effect.” They DID rebrand it. And continue to do so (”climate crisis,” “climate emergency,” “climate justice,” etc.).

This “finding” has been found to be FALSE. Lying liers only know how to lie.

Anyone who can read or listen to the media and who is also 35 or older, should have long ago figured out that they use “Global Warming” in the summer and transition to “Climate Change” narratives in the winter.

Good Lord, that is just unbelievable. If I didn't read that with my own eyes, I would need a "fact check" to see if somebody is so stupid as to write that.

Our rating: False
Based on our research, we rate FALSE the claim that the Earth is flat because cities cannot be upside-down.

blame Frank Luntz:. this is well-known:

2003: NYT: A Call for Softer, Greener Language
By Jennifer 8. Lee
Over the last six months, the Republican Party has subtly refocused its message on the environment, an issue that a party strategist called ‘’the single biggest vulnerability for the Republicans and especially for George Bush’’ in a memorandum encouraging the new approach...

In interviews, Republican politicians and their aides said they agreed with the strategist, Frank Luntz, that it was important to pay attention to what his memorandum, written before the November elections, called “the environmental communications battle.”

In his memorandum, Mr. Luntz urges that the term “climate change” be used instead of “global warming,” because “while global warming has catastrophic communications attached to it, climate change sounds a more controllable and less emotional challenge.”...

President Bush’s speeches on the environment show that the terms “global warming” and
“environmentalist” had largely disappeared by late last summer. The terms appeared in a number of President Bush’s speeches in 2001, but now the White House fairly consistently uses “climate change” and “conservationist.”...

Many new Republican communication strategies match the recommendations of the 16-page environmental memorandum put together by the Luntz Research Companies, the consulting firm run by Mr. Luntz, who was also one of the drafters of “Contract with America,” the manifesto of House Republicans under Newt Gingrich, the former speaker...
