It’s neither scientific nor American.

[exnavy]

“the earth is firmly and securely made”. God.

[Gene Eric]

Here are the “right” words... STFU, Susan ya dolt

[Thommas]

Terms such as “regulate,” “restrict,” “cut,” “control” and “tax” are unpopular..

Such terms are truthful and therefore must be suppressed, altered, or overwritten. Don't give the rubes an even break.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

TRANSLATION: “All propaganda, all the time.”

[facedown]

In other words, lie.

[FlingWingFlyer]

I can’t believe it is the same magazine I used to subscribe to when I was in high school and then going to college. It used to be about science. Now it’s about politics and political propaganda.

[Paladin2]

What about the phrase “Eat your bugs and be happy!” ?

[BenLurkin]

” Terms such as “regulate,” “restrict,” “cut,” “control” and “tax” are unpopular”

No kidding.

[Migraine]

You’ve gotta chant some magic words or just forget about it.

[ElkGroveDan]

George Orwell was the Nostradamus of our time.

[BenLurkin]

"The fact that the first significant U.S. climate policy is called the Inflation Reduction Act is another example of how word choice matters."

[Presbyterian Reporter]

Here is a great speech by a Brit MP regarding climate change

Terms such as “regulate,” “restrict,” “cut,” “control” and “tax” are unpopular, especially among conservatives.

Yes, they are.

To get conservatives on your side, I suggest you liberals immediately begin using more comforting and sensitive words like:
* "You WILL eat bugs"
* "15 minutes"
* "Freeze in the dark"
* "Clot shot"
* "Depopulation"
* "Whale killers"
* "Raptor choppers"
* "New World Order"
* "WEF, Gates, Schwab and Soros"
* "500 million"
* "Farmers bad"
* "Nitrogen fertilzer bad"
* "EV"

[rlmorel]

Agreed.

The Right Words Are Crucial to Solving Climate Change

"Scientific" "American" and Susan Joy Hassol need the "right" words for their Communist Lies.

[Vision]

Yes. Like they need to be able to debate their theory, which they can’t.

[blue state conservative]

My heating bill rates in California just went up 50% from the prior month and doubled in the last year. What’s the new term that will describe this as great news.

[silent majority rising]

In fact, electric cars and windmills are much worse for the environment. Oil and gas has saved the lives of billions of people.
