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”.

C’mon you old stick-in-the-mud! Then laugh it up!
Sheeesh…For all the fearmongering that has gone on, along with people wringing their hands with worry over the polar bears, and boiling oceans, etc ad nauseum, we all have to stop once in a while and smell the roses.
For all you (or we) know there’s a comet impact occurring in 6 hours that will destroy the planet: no more weather to worry about! We are finite, our days are numbered…take a break and laugh. If I had your stodgy, condescending outlook I’d probably be hoping for the end of the world too.
That said, for me anyway, and obviously others here, I think we’d prefer to hang with your Grandson.
Smile and the world smiles with you, frown and…welcome to CAGW.
Get Out of Jail Free card
Just another 2 cents worth, but:
How egocentric is the phrase ‘climate disruption’ anyway? As if…

…’ of ‘ what? Us? Yea, sometimes weather impedes our progress and movement…get used to it, it’s chaotic. It’s not margarine! (get it? it’s ‘not nice to fool with’…oh forget it, I’m stopping now 🙂
Ice Age?
In this modern world of climate controlled offices (A/C makes the outside seem warmer still) the persistence of weather to be unruly and unpredictable has resulted in:
The situation.
Short and to the point, it may require a licence from MTV’s Jersey Shore, however….
This just in: Seen on a Tee-shirt; Climatologists do it, with models.

That is an exciting development that I was not aware of! Perhaps we could combine the two into a projectile to sample clouds. I’ll have to give some thought to developing a suitable launching technology.

“Now 95 responses, after 100 it’ll run out of steam, even humour has its limits.”
But up-thread you complained that 82 responses was approaching your limit.
The average climate alarmist blog gets maybe a handful of comments — if that. So I for one enjoy seeing you bowing down before your skeptical overlords.☺
How about
Dependable Climate Independability?
I kind of like the previously used term, “inadvertent climate modification.” It sounds so accidentally friendly.
The humor is not to mock the sadly pernicious CAGW stance as much as it is to help us deal with the enormity and the difficulty of the task at hand.
When you consider the degree of belief (in the party line) and the lack of awareness (of REALLY inconvenient truths), remaining stalwart in the face of daunting odds requires perspective as well as perception.
Being a one-viewpoint holder restricts and limits cognitive ability. Travel may broaden the mind, but humor lightens the load and you can go a lot farther without a heavy load weighing you down.
Climeaphobia?
Global Incontenance?
Global Climate Modulation?
Over Population?
Global Constipation?
Global Dispepsia?
I guess I’m the only one that likes “White Man’s Wind”…LOL!
I am just glad they have acknowledged that we no longer need worry about “global warming” and that “climate change” is ever-present, hence also not a concern.

While it’s fun to mock them, the next name for climate will in fact be….drum roll….. climate. Eventually the madness ends, and this climate insanity appears to have pretty much run its course. Thank Gaia.
My immediate reaction also was “Irritable Climate Syndrome”.
Seems to encapsulate the whole sorry tale, somehow.
Irritable Climate Syndrome
Climatic Climax Continuum
Since we will never be able to get rid of this, the next logical devolution will clearly be:
Anthropogenic Intervention and Disruption Syndrome
to be better known as AIDS
LOL. I love the Globecaust!
Oh so funny.
Well, since this seems to be a religious debate, and since this involves the role of fossil fuels, what do you think of:
“Original Carbon Sin”?
I’m sticking with “Wrath of Cthuhlu” for obvious reasons ( fear of cthuhlu) besides, if I remember correctly, Cthuhlu lives at the south pole, and the warmers worship the ice already.
Failing that, I did like Anthropocalypse.
How about Global Climate Decay?

Please refer also to E.M. Smith The Chiefo for the correct procedure of the stick to ascertain the exact measure of the second and the definition of the yard the foot and many other extremely useful applications.
I fail to understand your preference for a rock in a modern world.
For those wondering what this is about, you can make a decent time standard with a couple of sticks, a rock, some string and the night sky. Length (and through it area and volume and thus mass standards too…).

I probably ought to add a sundial and the nocturnal description (“star dial”), and maybe I’ll quote the weather stick description too ;-0
Call me a luddite, I really like that rock.
You clever dicks are just making more work with your sticks and plum bobs .
That has all the appeal of setting up a home computer network.
I already have a measuring stick.
What am I to do , carry everything outside to measure it against shadows ?
I can install a Rock in seconds and easily maintain a network of Rocks front back and sides, with no trouble at all.
OF course I also have a Master Rock, Which my wife bought to kill me with.
That one took 4 grown men and a small tractor to be eased into its commanding
Precise orientation, and I will be darned of I am going to talk her into replacing it with a stick.
Stick, bah !
I do not expect the new name to hold, but I find it rather hard to imagine what they might actually try next; perhaps something like ‘anthropogenic global contamination,’ ‘anthropogenic global climate destabilization,’ or ‘anthropogenic global climate endangerment.’ Of course, the term ‘anthropogenic global warming’ seems to have a life all its own.
