John Holdren, director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, says that the term "global warming" is "a dangerous misnomer that should be replaced with global climate disruption." At the Environmental Protection Agency's 40th celebration of the Clean Air Act on Tuesday, Holdren said, "I think one of the failures of the scientific community was in embracing the term 'global warming'. Global warming is in fact a dangerous misnomer." And in a speech last week in Norway, echoing remarks he made at a 2007 speech at Harvard University, Holdren said the

First it was Global Warming, because we were all going to bake. Then it turned into Global Climate Change because they weren’t sure whether we would bake or freeze, but they were sure it had to do with temperature. Now apparently it’s Global Climate Disruption, because they aren’t even sure the temperature will be any different than it otherwise would have been, but still, it’s going to be really bad, and it’s all our fault.

Global climate disruptions are RANDOM events. Mankind has NOTHING to do with these events. Liberals are full of hot air.

Oh no it was NOT "First" global warming! It was the "Next Ice Age!" I don't know how old you are, but I remember that meme from when I was a kid in the 1970's! We were all going to freeze to death due to the global freeze that was coming!
It was BS as the "Next Ice Age!" It was BS as "Global Warming!" It is BS as "Global Climate Change!" AND, it will BS when they change the nomenclature for this meme in about two years!

The Dems have destroyed countless careers with their insane lynch mob of Al Gore global warming fundamentalists and now that they’ve been thoroughly discredited they are furiously backpedaling and devising a new fraud to frighten the public into submission. The sky is falling. The sky is falling.

They keep trying and throwing terms at the wall hoping one will stick. I still use GW. Makes them squirm and try to explain why I should call it something else. They called it Global Warming for years and told us why, the “science” hasn’t changed according to them, but the terminology has.

I also remember that meme from my childhood. Also, the same things that were supposed to freeze us to death, later, were supposed to bake us to death.
