Tipping Points In Environmentalist Rhetoric: An Unscientific Survey of Nexis - Hit & Run : Reason.com
[Ronald Bailey] After June 2002, the news media's use of tipping point in the context of global warming and climate change exploded (reached its own tipping point?). One caveat: naturally there will be some overlap since many articles will mention both climate change and global warming. In any case here are the totals:
Between June 2002 and June 2005 - CC: 262; GW: 303.
Between June 2005 and June 2008 - CC: more than 3,000; GW: more than 3,000*
Between June 2008 and June 2011 - CC: more than 3,000; GW: 2903
Between June 2011 and June 2012 - CC: 1,348; GW; 637
Of course, the problem with tipping points is that they can never be proven wrong; only right in retrospect. And that, of course, makes citing them a wonderful rhetorical device for
doomsayers.
