I think “climate change” is the latest mantra that’s been going around for a while.
Probably to be changed to “Climate Earth”, or something similar, in the near future.

Have you noticed that the term "global climate change" is replacing "global warming"? Yes. Global warming was a sad misnomer.
For much of the United States, this last winter was colder than any in the recent past.
Not here. It was 55 degrees in the Boston area over Christmas.
Via the news media, travelers snowed in at airports were fed a steady diet of looming catastrophe. The newscasters have shrewdly altered the phrase to highlight the viciousness of the weather. To a passenger sleeping on a cold airline terminal floor, any warming would be a relief.
Put a sweater on for crying out loud. The fact is according to the National Climatic Data Center of the U.S. Department of Commerce, "The global annual temperature for combined land and ocean surfaces in 2006 was +0.54°C (+0.97°F) above average, ranking 5th warmest in the period of record." Climate change is real. The question is whether we can or cannot do something about it.

The coldest weather this past winter ironically came within 10 days of Al Gore speaking here. Prior to his speech our winter had been unusually warm. The prophets of global warming, who are predicting half the ice caps melting in a dozen years, looked rather ridiculous when this winter was for many not warmer than normal, but about average if not colder. The global warming crowd and their MSM lackeys should be careful what they predict will happen in the very near future because they look like idiots when this catastrophe does not happen. A good example is last year’s predictions of a worse than normal hurricane season in the Atlantic
