The lexicon shift in 2010

Back in 2010, I pointed out that White House science adviser John Holdren had made a shift in naming conventions for the twice renamed “global warming”.
The lexicon shift in 2010
It seems that another shift in the lexicon has occurred, again at the White House. Organizing for Action, President Obama’s campaign machine declared Tuesday that there was a new name.
The Washington Times picked up on this shift, and I’ve updated the graphic to reflect the new name. There’s also a poll to choose/predict the next name after this one.
The doomed planet movement has been losing momentum. Inconvenient scientific findings have confirmed the lack of any significant warming of dear old Earth over the past 16 years. It’s hard to scare people into action when nothing bad is happening. That’s why the White House has changed its vocabulary again — first “global warming” was changed to “climate change” — and now the correct name of the scam is “carbon pollution.” It’s a way to paint carbon dioxide as if it were black soot billowing out of industrial smokestacks. Carbon dioxide is actually what humans exhale, and it’s food for plants.

Its seems that since global warming has stalled, and scientists are puzzled by it, plus major players in science are poo-pooing the “climate disruption/extreme weather angle, they had no choice but to make a lexicon shift.
Here is the updated graphic to reflect the lexicon shift. Feel free to share far and wide:
What should the next name be? Take the poll, you can also add your own answer. Be sure to post your new answer in comments. (I’ll add some of the best ones manually)
[NOTE: for some reason the poll won't display other answers from voters in the voting or the results, so I disabled it - A]
h/t to Small Dead Animals for some of the names
fyi
We are all carbon polluters.
Post Traumatic Weather Syndrome!
Climate Jihad aint bad either come to think of it!
Im ever so glad Im not a Climate-American!!
do Cimate Americans Wear Hoodies?
I missed out on “climate disruption”, and I’m pissed!
My suggestion is climate unpredictability.
Carbon....black....dirty....conjures up images of Pittsburgh in 1938.
Yeah, that should work. Be sure and make that check payable to George Lakoff. cha-ching....
Is that Lexicon or LEFTICONNED?
The Days of Whine and Woeses.
I figured that they'd start over, likely with "OMG!! We're running out of clean water!!!!". Inspire new fear in the same people, and get them to re-open their pocketbooks.
Conservatives should start talking about the extreme C02 drought we are currently in and how we need to be adding C02 to the atmosphere in order to save the trees and other green things.
In an indirect way.
See California Electric Rates and the Legislation that requires all Power Generation to be at least 30% supplied by Green Energy sources....NG not included.
Sure...let 'em call it carbon pollution. Let 'em take ownership, then we'll bury them in the term. Hang it around their necks and ridicule the h*ll out of them for being so stupid.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
I got it! We will call it “Weather”.
Look for AP (Administration Propaganda) to update their
copyline headings by tomorrow.
When people catch on to the hustle, just change the name of the game. Instead of Three Card Monte, they want to play Find the Queen.
Honey! We Messed Up the Climate.
We can call it “Smaller Bikinis”.
That ought to do it.
That carbon di-oxide is insidious stuff. Almost as bad as that di-hydrogen monoxide, which is such an indescrimate killer of adults children and babies. The latter, once created, persists in the environment indefinitely!
