Ministry of Truth: The Guardian and the Orwellian Language of Global Warming | hauntingthelibrary

Readers are told the bitter cold is a “snap” – implying an extremely short-lived phenomenon. They then have to struggle to accommodate the cognitive dissonance of an extremely short-lived event that is “gripping” Europe and “shows no signs of letting up”.
