Great idea!! It's easy to say and the point can't be missed. I think it might anger a few of the quacks...but that can't be helped, I suppose :-)

Have you heard about "global alarming"?
I think that the words are quite charming.
The libs might regret
The course that they've set
'Cause the phrase shows they need "funny farming."

Exactly my thoughts. I was thinking of some possible comparisons. I honestly don’t know what came first of
— pro-abortion
— pro-choice
— anti-abortion
— pro-life

But I suspect that the pro-abort crowd at some point realized that “choice” sounded better than “abortion” and that the good guys realized that to be “Pro” life sounded better than to be “Anti” abortion. So the labels have stuck and to a large extent framed the arguments (”It’s not a choice it’s a baby”).

I think we should adopt “Global Alarming” as a means of framing the argument in our favor - it conveys the needed message, does it in a catchy way, and turns the enviro-whackos arguments back on themselves.

Thanks.

I agree.
