The AP Stylebook is the definitive guide for “reporters” in their writings, and they’ve come up with some changes to warming and Skeptics, as guided by hyper-warmist Seth Borenstein
(AP) global warming The terms global warming and climate change can be used interchangeably. Climate change is more accurate scientifically to describe the various effects of greenhouse gases on the world because it includes extreme weather, storms and changes in rainfall patterns, ocean acidification and sea level. But global warming as a term is more common and understandable to the public.
Cult member writers will continue to use “climate change” more than global warming, because it can be very confusing when the term “global warming” is used in an article about heavy snow and bitter cold events.
To describe those who don’t accept climate science or dispute the world is warming from man-made forces, use climate change doubters or those who reject mainstream climate science. Avoid use of skeptics or deniers.
How cute. According to far left Talking Points Memo, which used vast amounts of carbon polluting energy to publish on the web, this is a stronger way to describe those who aren’t buying into the man-caused Hotcoldwetdry meme. Soros funded climate monkey Joe Romm is not enthused.
I’m fine with the rejecting mainstream climate science thing. Remember how it was mainstream to believe that the Sun went around the Earth? That the Earth was flat? That there we canals on Mars? That the Earth was expanding? Spontaneous generation? Phrenology?
I wonder when the AP Stylebook will come up with something for the Warmists? I’d go with “people who say they believe in anthropogenic climate change, telling us it’s a crisis but refuse to change their own lives to show us that it’s a crisis.” A little long, sure.
