A far-left climate change group has spent millions of dollars in a bid to help climate activists sound like human beings when interacting with other people. Potential Energy Coalition launched the “Talk Like a Human” campaign, which suggests activists use terms such as “extreme weather” and “overheating” in place of “climate change” and “warming.”Additionally, it promotes positive language like “enjoy” over “sacrifice” when discussing the future impacts of climate actions. The coalition emphasizes localized language, suggesting activists talk about pollution rather than the global scope of climate change.

After anger and mourning comes acceptance.
“a rose by any other name still smells like a rose and a sewer by any other name still smells like a sewer”
I’m so glad that they want to ditch the word, “sustainable.” I am so sick of hearing that.
The left should also stop using the word FREE.....nothing is and they have used it ad nauseam to buy the votes of weak minded and ignorant people.
It’s criminal IMO
The conservatives need to use those words when DOGE takes over.
instead of being against abortion I’m going to say I don’t agree with baby-killing
“People empowerment” in place of firearms.
“Culture cleansing” instead of capital punishment.
“Rights of the weakest” instead of pro-life.
There. Accuracy matters. /s
Along with ‘zero emissions...’
bkmk
The changes being done are to fool the yokels - climate alarmist have no intention of changing their ways or their slush funds or damage to the US over China - the changes are "to words" to fool people.
My lefty relatives apparently recovered enough yesterday to invite everyone over for the standard Thanksgiving.
I am curious where they are in the stages of grief:
—Denial (Elon Musk stole it)
—Anger (Screaming and punching things)
—Bargaining (your co worker is here)
—Depression (check into rehab...lol)
—Acceptance
One of my college friends who I friended on FB has her head in the oven ever since the election. She swears the oppression will be unbearable. She posted a picture this morning from her mountain 2nd home with the snow on her Porsche.
Acceptance will be signaled by “We must work harder to drive out the Nazis in 2026 and remove TrumpHitler.
Really it was more of a categorical rejection of the Democrats rather than love of Trump.
The last four years were the Democrats openly making war on the people.
Sadly, it will probably work. The media and academia will use all the proper terms and within a year or so you won’t even hear the old vocab.
And notice how many of these new words are geared towards getting rid of a global issue and trying to make it a local one that people can relate to your easier.
well, he is certainly more than a breath of fresh air
“Talk like an human” is implicit admission that leftists are not humans but something else that has to learn to imitate human speech and thought. Actual humans should ask themselves “to what purpose?”
IMO the “Just Stop Oil” group in Europe has the right idea. They block streets and highways in Britain and elsewhere while holding their signs. I love watching the youtube videos of those Maoists being pushed aside by cars,trucks and buses as they screech in righteous indignation. I just hope no vehicles were damaged in any of them.
