It is no longer global warming because it isn't.

It is climate change because it does.

Men are never so likely to settle a question rightly as when they discuss it freely.

— Thomas B. Macaulay (1800-1859), Essay on Southey's Colloquies

All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.

Not so keen on being green

Global warming/climate change/global climate disruption/call it what you will environmental crisis is losing popularity with the people. Why? Could it be that everything under the sun is being blamed on human addition of CO2 to the atmosphere? This is reminiscent of the daily cancer scares of the past. Everyday there was a new research study that purported to show that this or that causes cancer. People became desnsitized to the warnings and concluded that it took too much time and effort to track all the causes of cancer and thus interfered with the enjoyment of what little life we all appeared to have left anyway so 'screw it'. Live it up and what happens happens. Deal with it then. The environmentalists have been doing the same thing with the global warming scare.
Or could it be the lack of evidence for a catastrophic anthropogenic global warming crisis?

So now they are going to change the name of the crisis again to: sustainable development.

That will be the new catch phrase this year in Rio. Perhaps they will have more success with that. They have to try and keep the funding coming.

Another false eco-scare. Hopefully people are getting wise to the misuse of science and scientific funding to fuel unjustified fears of humans ruining the Earth.
