It's interesting to note the way PR companies succeeded in changing
the language when awareness of GW began developing. The original term
was "greenhouse warming" which neatly incorporated the cause of the
problem (accumulation of greenhouse gasses) and the effect (planetary
warming). PR first changed the language to "global warming" which got
rid of the cause, then to "climate change" which leaves it all wide
open; maybe the planet is cooling?
The radical honest media is now calling it global heating. I saw that
first in The Guardian, but then noticed it in other publications as
well, one or two. Heating is far more scary than warming, which is frog
in the pot dangerous. Global Burning may be more appropriate now and
might start to get attention.
Long, long time Anthropomorphic Global Overheating (Long, long time AGO)
Anthropomorphic Global Overheating Needs You (AGONY)
Anthropomorphic Global Overheating Needs Everyone's Resolve (A GONER)
Anthropomorphic but Avoidable Radical Global Heating (AARGH!)
