I always ask:

"Aren't you embarrassed that there is such little evidence of 'AWG' that they had to change the name?"

Words mean things, which is why they intentionally try to skew the meanings to further their agenda. What better example than “gay” for homosexual? (there’s nothing GAY about it) or “People’s Republic” for communist dictatorship?

The danger of euphemisms has always been of great concern to me, and I have always made an effort to criticize their use whenever someone uses them while talking with me.

Just like in "1984" the left seeks to control the mind by controlling the language.

Before Global Warming was Global Cooling. Back in the 80’s and 90’s Global Cooling was the fad. By the year 2000 we were supposed to have another Ice Age, the Great Lakes would freeze up and so on . . . Well that didn’t happen, so Global Warming became the fad . . . Since that’s a bit far fetched, lets go with Climate Change - that will work for both - must create some kind of crisis to gain mind control = that will lead to power.

Geologist say that there have been at least five ice ages in the history of the Earth. After all of those ice ages occurred there was the follow-on change of climate which we are experiencing as well. The only difference between all those other periods of climate change both Ice Age and Recovery, I repeat, the ONLY difference in this current recovery that we are experiencing is the governmental fleecing of taxpayers.

It’s called the weather and if anybody might notice it changes daily. It’s most impacted by the sun, not man-made anything. Globull warming, climate change, is just a lot of BS

I( always wonder what the goal of climate change is. Example: if it gets colder do we then use more fossil fuels?

Buzzed driving is Drunk Driving.
Regret after being a willing participant sex is rape.
Vaping is smoking.
Women and men are the same.

I have no problem with the term “landfill” if it refers to something whose purpose is to fill land. Otherwise, it may be just a dump.

It was Global Cooling in the 70’s when we were on the cusp of the next Ice Age.
