‘Global Warming’ Not Scary Enough, Alarmists Rebrand ‘Climate Crisis’

Since the expressions “global warming” and “climate change” do not frighten people enough, activists are proposing a shift in language to “climate crisis” or “environmental collapse,” with the help of advertising consultants.

Neuroscience research suggests that “global warming” and “climate change” do not produce a powerful enough reaction in people, whereas “climate crisis” got “a 60 percent greater emotional response from listeners” according to a recent study.

Environmental lobbying has reportedly yielded a 15-point increase in the share of Americans who believe that climate change is a serious problem, but activists are looking for ways to boost that number still further by using more explosive language.

ATTENTION GORONS! Since there has been a lack of scariness associated with "climate change", we are requiring that the new correct term will be "climate crises"! There will be more information available at 2300 hrs on the "Cli-Fi Network." Stay tuned. Ah yes. Further climatomfoolery.

“Global Warming” - “Climate Change” - “Climate Crisis” - I don’t know, unless the push it all the way to “Climate Sharknado III” I don’t think it’s going to work.

OK!! Everybody pay attention!
Lesson for today:
1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.
2. The sun is a giant nuclear furnace that controls the climates of all its planets.
3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.
4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.
5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.
Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?

I'm guessing we have been talking about the weather since we have been talking. So politicizing the weather was inevitable. Global warming was the first slogan but it didn't work given the winters so "climate change" became the new buzz. But that ain't working either so the newest brand is "climate crisis". I'm sure the alarmists are working on others to keep the scam going. It should be interesting for future scholars to look back at the hysteria that this money grabbing scam caused. Because in the end its always about the $.
