New phrase, same thing


New phrase, same thing:  The terms have to keep up with the changes in the certainty of science, especially when it is so uncertain.   

Global Cooling -- Peak Oil -- Global Warming

-- Climate Change -- Climate Disruption

Report Uses Phrase ‘Climate Disruption’ As Another Way To Say Global Warming


"Climate change’s assorted harms “are expected to become increasingly disruptive across the nation throughout this century and beyond,” the National Climate Assessment concluded Tuesday. The report emphasizes how warming and its all-too-wild weather are changing daily lives, even using the phrase “climate disruption” as another way of saying global warming."

"The report says the intensity, frequency and duration of the strongest Atlantic hurricanes have increased since the early 1980s, but it is still uncertain how much of that is from manmade warming."
