Lexicon Shift Alert: global warming gets another name change (Carbon Pollution ??)
Watts Up With That? ^ | August 15, 2013 | by Anthony Watts

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]

The next name for "global warming"?
Climate Rambunctiousness
Weather, but now with taxes
Climageddon
Climate flaccidity
WetterBlitzkrieg (top choice at Skeptical Science)
Slow roasted goodness
Peak Weather
D.E.A.T.H. Destructive Earth Annihilating Temperature Hellification (Lucia)
Post Traumatic Weather Syndrome
Climate Jihad
Obamaclimatecare (Chris NJSnowfan)
Climate Gone Wild
Dana's Inferno
Irritable Climate Syndrome
Frankenclimate
Quantcast

h/t to Small Dead Animals for some of the names

Conservatives don't have to rename things all the time when people catch on.
That ought to tell you something.

Don’t like Carbon? Stop breathing, or plant a tree.

I don’t think this will work, for an odd reason.

Molecules that contain carbon are called organic molecules.

But this term is abused with “organic farming”, though their intent is to suggest that they do not farm with synthetic chemicals.

In any event: “Carbon Pollution” equals “Organic Pollution”.

Imagine how the “organic” food eaters would feel about their “organic” food being declared “pollution”?

Seriously, as Daffy Duck would say, “Obviously, I am dealing with inferior mentalities.” Which pretty much defines Obama’s supporters.

PTWS.. I heard about that. Nasty thing to get. Happens to many UK climate scientists who spend time in Antartica.

CO2 is not a pollutant. Without CO2 this planet would be empty, just rocks and dust, like the moon. Without CO2, there is no vegetation. Without vegetation, there is no food chain and no animals and no humans — just rock and dust.

Meanwhile, greenhouse growers are investing in CO2 generators because the plants produce so much more.

Carbon has 6 electrons, 6 protons, 6 neutrons. It’s the atom of the beast. It’s also what colors High-Carbon-Content-Skinned-Americans.
