What should we call people who care about climate change and clean energy? | Grist
The fact is, PCCCCE are extremely diverse. There needs to be a term for them that doesn't carry too much ideological baggage, something they would all accept, even given their cultural and policy differences. Are they "climate change advocates"? Well, they don't advocate for climate change. The "climate concerned"? Weak. "Climate crusaders"? Too do-goody. "Clean energy advocates"? Sterile and wonky.

Saying that such a tiny warming has had any effect on anything is absurd. All animals encounter much larger temperature variations than that in the course of a single day, for instance. So it is clear that the extinctions and population reductions mentioned below were NOT caused by global warming. Much of the drop in amphibian populations was caused by fungi
