After "Global Climate Disruption": next name?

My friend Kate in Saskatchewan is running a poll on what the next name might be. Here’s a screencap of the poll choices.

My own personal favorite  in “Irritable Climate Syndrome”.

You could have ‘Hansen’s syndrome by proxy,’ but anything with syndrome in the title would work well as it invokes health issues. Frankenclimate is a bit too radical enviroloon to really catch on.

I once saw “Globull Warnings” cited.

I had suggested “New Coke” as the results will be the same. Perhaps A.D.D. = Anthropogenically Distracted Disorder

How about INVOKE = Ignorance of Natural Climate Oscillations Known Effects.

Should read Ignorance of Natural Variability Oscillations Known Effects.

There is a very useful word in greek, “lagneia”, translated by Lidell an Scott as “lust”.
It is useful because new words appropriate to the lust for a new vocabulary that the modern left is imposing will be called “lexilagneia”, i.e. lust for words.
There is “thermolagneia” , i.e. lust for heat which describes AGwarmers, and “tromolagneia” which describes the lust for apocalyptic terrors.
We have a bad case of lexilagneia with our recent government, which has renamed all ministries in creative ways. The ministry of “public order”, i.e. police. has become the ministry of “protection of the citizen”. The ministry of “education and religions” has become the ministry of “education, lifelong learning and religions”.

Picked up a great new book on anti-gravity. Couldn’t put it down!

How about, “Hansen’s Disease, M’am…like leprosy…only not spelt the same”.

To make it accessible to Proles and Sheeple, we should invoke NewSpeak:

I don’t see why they need to change the name.

For those who may not be weather rock aficionados, recalibration can be a tedious task. It involves precise measurement of the length of the supporting wire, string, etc., possibly changing the shape, weight, and texture of the rock, and of course, placement. This is to avoid undue influence by winds (light or aerodynamic rock errors), excessive or too little accumulation of precipitation, etc. I’ve seen many rocks that were poorly sited or otherwise prone to error, which has a significant impact on the Global Weather Rock Network, and subsequent modeling using current Weather Rock Software. It’s really quite irritating.

‘Ralph says:

I had that once. It was easily cured by eating less Greens…….’
If it gets rid of Caroline Lucas, a little disomfort would be justified!

Global Climate Perturbation
That’s what it really is. The stratosphere reaching volcano plumes are much more numerous nearer the polar regions. When they go temperature gradients get sharper. Aerosols and altitude! The mixing starts and all heck can break loose.
Its not man, stupid!
Its not the sun, stupid!
Its the volcanoes, stupid!
The ‘weather rock’ now that is priceless!

Lets not play the alarmist’s game let give it a name that reflects the truth, like “stupid nonsense” as in “I don’t believe this climate change stupid nonsense” or better yet “stupid non-science”.

“Climate Very Likely” sums it up.
