In addition to “climate change” and “green,” EERE forbid officials from using “emissions” to avoid the implication that they are a negative. Climate change is caused by rising greenhouse gas emissions, which is driven primarily by burning oil, coal and natural gas for energy.

Other terms officials must ditch include “energy transition,” “sustainability/sustainable,” “‘clean’ or ‘dirty’ energy,” “Carbon/CO2 ‘Footprint’” and “Tax breaks/tax credits/subsidies.”

Can’t believe you cut the other half out

As someone who read the book and is hunting down an original for less than 8 thousand euros, I can safely say that this would definitely be in the book.

8000 euros for a book??☠️💀

First print from 1949, good condition. Pristine condition is 16k 💀

I've read it! Or have I? There's a lot of discussion around it, but I listened to the audiobook, so I'll let you decide for yourself, but at least I know the full story.

Assholes have never even heard of a thesaurus. Plus, we now have AI at our backs. Behold, what ChatGPT ginned up for me a second ago:

  1. Global heating
  2. Planetary warming
  3. Atmospheric instability
  4. Rising planetary temperatures
  5. Ecological overheating
  6. Weather system disruption
  7. Global temperature shift
  8. Planetary imbalance
  9. Atmospheric warming trend
  10. Earth system disturbance
  11. Heat-driven weather extremes
  12. Long-term planetary warming
  13. Rising global heat levels
  14. Ecological destabilization
  15. Planet-wide heat surge
  16. Environmental overheating
  17. Temperature-driven disruption
  18. Global heat imbalance
  19. Accelerated warming of Earth
  20. Planetary-scale weather disruption

I get that this works as long as they're willing to play by the rules they set. But if it comes down to getting the word out, and silencing science that could save lives, it's worth trying.

Ha ha ha, nice try. This is like trying to convince someone you never fart. Proof of idiocy.

1984 Much???

So would it now be considered acceptable to use something like " [INSERT FIRM] passed gas to the amount of [BLANK] tons over [PERIOD OF TIME] "

It sure would make reports a hell of alot more interesting.

When you ignore a problem, it goes away.
