WTWizard: "Now, it's "climate change"."
I keep hearing that idiotic falsehood from people on this board long after I and Besty have debunked it with indisputable references. Bottom line Wizard, you need an education in the subject matter before sounding off. I've repeated this so often that I have written it up in my Word documents for quick transfer. Read below and weep.
The change from Global Warming to Climate Change
As I've posted repeatedly on other threads, Global Warming and Climate Change have been used for decades but it was recently that a change occurred.
This change shows the psychopathic nature of conservative propagandists who are always accusing others of what they themselves are eternally guilty of.
You see, it was a Republican by the name of Frank Luntz who advised the Bush administration to change over from the term Global Warming to the phrase Climate Change. The reason was because he thought that GW was too alarming but CC was a milder, more watered down term.
Frank Luntz is identified in Wikipedia as a "wordsmith" who advises corporations on how to change their image by the judicious choice of words. He is known as having given the phrase "Orwellian" a positive spin, claiming that it refers to "clear thinking". You can see this word-monger (I prefer "mindf**ker") in action in the following videotape, bragging about his Machiavellian prowess in having changed Global Warming to Climate Change.
To no one's surprise, he is a common guest on Fox News.
Fortunately, this name change backfired on him since there is a valid reason for the phrase Climate Change.
