Anthony Watts points out that Obama's campaign organizing arm has come up with a new weather phrase to try to get people organized: carbon pollution. Watts links to this article in the Washington Times, which has picked up on the new term:
The doomed planet movement has been losing momentum. Inconvenient scientific findings have confirmed the lack of any significant warming of dear old Earth over the past 16 years. It’s hard to scare people into action when nothing bad is happening. That’s why the White House has changed its vocabulary again — first “global warming” was changed to “climate change” — and now the correct name of the scam is “carbon pollution.” It’s a way to paint carbon dioxide as if it were black soot billowing out of industrial smokestacks. Carbon dioxide is actually what humans exhale, and it’s food for plants.
This is now the third catch phrase scammers have come up with since we have had no global warming in the last sixteen years.
If you go to the Watts Up With That? blog, you can vote on what should be the next name. Two I liked were Post Traumatic Weather Syndrome and Weather, but now with taxes
