[Again with the hoax rebranding] | The Guardian

The public doesn't understand the real issues of what is called "climate change" or "global warming" (The Climate Power Game), so what is the point of this junketing by politicians to talk gobbledegook to each other for days on end with little point or conclusion? Should this whole subject not be renamed "global pollution"? Then we'd all understand the problem and, hopefully, do something tangible about it.

[Alarmist Tom Friedman] And sweet-sounding “global warming” doesn’t really capture what’s likely to happen. I prefer the term “global weirding,” coined by Hunter Lovins, co-founder of the Rocky Mountain Institute, because the rise in average global temperature is going to lead to all sorts of crazy things — from hotter heat spells and droughts in some places, to colder cold spells and more violent storms, more intense flooding, forest fires and species loss in other places.

I don't think most people will survive climate change.
