Slightly off topic, but I prefer to call it, “Planetary Warming,” and, “Planetary Climate Change.”

Think about it: “Global Warming” makes it seem as if the Earth is this tiny little ball, like the globe on your desk. But the Earth is huge, and is a planet, not a globe.

Just like, it’s not rainforest, it’s a freaking jungle.
Not “wetlands,” it’s a freaking swamp.
He’s not “homeless,” he’s a bum.

The use of the word, “global,” is a manipulative device used to shift the imagination into picturing our planet as this tiny little fragile thing that sits on your desk.

Just using the term, “Planetary Climate Change” makes you grin just a bit, because a planet is HUGE, and of course its climate changes. If we can shift the terms to “Planetary Warming,” and “Planetary Climate Change” (more accurate than “Global” anything), we will bring things into perspective, and drive the left nuts to boot.

It’s not a “Globe,” it’s a freaking PLANET!

I like Earth, the name of the planet, better. Even planet is impersonal, not like Earth or Mother Earth as they like to call it. Second choice would be world, inferring habitation.
