Britain's Guardian newspaper tells staff to avoid saying 'climate change,' use 'climate emergency, crisis or breakdown' instead

Britain's Guardian newspaper is officially changing its language concerning climate change, opting to call it instead “climate emergency, crisis or breakdown.”

Editor-in-chief Katharine Viner advised the staff in an email Friday that the phrase “climate change” should be avoided because it “sounds rather passive and gentle’ and doesn’t capture the real threat to humanity.

“We want to ensure that we are being scientifically precise and rooted in facts, while also communicating clearly with readers on this very important issue,” Viner wrote.

The new guidelines also state that a person skeptical about climate change should no longer be described as a “climate skeptic.”

Instead, Viner writes, phrases such as “climate science denier” or “climate denier” should be applied.

“Increasingly, climate scientists and organizations from the UN to the Met Office are changing their terminology, and using stronger language to describe the situation we’re in,” she added in the email.

No longer call someone you disagree with because they are conservative and you are a worthless Lefty, anything other than a racist homophobic anti-muslim deplorable, because we love to ruin the actual true meaning of words.

Words are powerful. That’s why I use the term “climate hysteria.”

"Climate Delusion"

How much money is this B$tch and the Guardian getting to lie about Gorebull warming?

“You don't capitulate to young voters because they have been brainwashed into believing that mankind is driving a climate 'crisis,'” said Marc Morano. “You lead and reveal to them that what they think they know just ain't so.”

Thanks to Hot Hunt and others for the above realities versus the end of humans due to Gorebull Warming BS Predictions.

If they were winning the propaganda war, they wouldn’t need to keep ratcheting up the intensity.

The Crazier you make it sound doesn’t make it True ,LOL

[Zathras]

In the world of hacking and cyber security...they tell you if you get a phone call, email or text which has a sense of emergency if nothing is done, its ALWAYS a scam.

Global Warming/Climate Change/Climate Crisis/Climate Breakdown ... how many times are they going to change the terminology to make it sound evil?

The planet is on f---ing fire' !!!

If it was true to begin with, they would not need to re-brand it again and again.
Anyone else notice how the Left keeps re-packaging their message while Conservatives don't have to.

Ban personal CO2-emitting vehicles in leftist cities within 24 hours.

And yet, there is a environmental article up right now at the Guardian using Climate Change in the title.

Plus an article on climate about the guy who pretends he’s a scientist, Bill Nye.

The Guardian is science-cy.

It’s SOP for a criminal to take on a new identity in hopes of throwing the cops off their trail.   If only it were that easy to disown one’s past!

[HotHunt]

They used to call changing your name and address all of the time while you were on the run from the authorities as "staying one step ahead of the law".

The climate change folks have been doing the same thing, changing the name of their hoax every so often and continuously pushing back the end-of-life-as-we-know-it time it's going to take before the world burns up and disappears.

They have to do this in order to stay one step ahead of an intelligent population that have figured out this scam and are "on" to the Leftist liars.

Read this Guardian memo again. It is pretty much a directive to lie and report more hysterical fake news that doesn't exist in order to scare and fear-monger their readers into thinking climate change is severe than it really is.

Yellow journalism is yellow journalism...

The idiot left believes their own BS about climate change so much they think they can use it to bludgeon Pres. DJT.

Statistically speaking climate change is near the bottom of sane electorate’s list of concerns.

How much longer until we get full circle and the Ice Age is upon us again?
