Back in 2010, I pointed out that White House science adviser John Holdren had made a shift in naming conventions for the twice renamed “global warming”.
It seems that another shift in the lexicon has occurred, again at the White House. Organizing for Action, President Obama’s campaign machine declared Tuesday that there was a new name.
The Washington Times picked up on this shift, and I’ve updated the graphic to reflect the new name. There’s also a poll to choose/predict the next name after this one.
The doomed planet movement has been losing momentum. Inconvenient scientific findings have confirmed the lack of any significant warming of dear old Earth over the past 16 years. It’s hard to scare people into action when nothing bad is happening. That’s why the White House has changed its vocabulary again — first “global warming” was changed to “climate change” — and now the correct name of the scam is “carbon pollution.” It’s a way to paint carbon dioxide as if it were black soot billowing out of industrial smokestacks. Carbon dioxide is actually what humans exhale, and it’s food for plants.

Its seems that since global warming has stalled, and scientists are puzzled by it, plus major players in science are poo-pooing the “climate disruption/extreme weather angle, they had no choice but to make a lexicon shift.
Here is the updated graphic to reflect the lexicon shift. Feel free to share far and wide:
What should the next name be? Take the poll, you can also add your own answer. Be sure to post your new answer in comments. (I’ll add some of the best ones manually)
[NOTE: for some reason the poll won’t display other answers from voters in the voting or the results, so I disabled it – A]
h/t to Small Dead Animals for some of the names

The Great Global cClimate Discontinuity
Anthropogenic Weather Disappointment. Regarding the UK met office on the failed forecasts of the effects of Anthropogenic Global Warming.
The warmists are struggling to adjust to cooling climate change. It is not clear that global cooling will be business as usual for the climate wars. The media and the public are going to demand an scientific explanation for the global cooling. The gig is up if there is significant global cooling.
The response to a plateau of no warming for 16 years was climate change. Hot, cold, wet, or storms and so on being attributed to increase in atmospheric CO2. The increase in atmospheric CO2 the warmists imply without any scientific basis causes climate change.
The problem with global cooling is the physical cause is not CO2. Global cooling debunks the extreme AGW hypothesis. If there is no extreme warming caused by the incease in atmospheric CO2 rise why do we hate CO2? Why do we hate carbon dioxide one of the most important atmospheric gases for life on this planet?
As plants eat CO2 and benefit from higher CO2 levels – commercial greenhouses inject CO2 into the greenhouse to increase yield and reduce growing times, cereal crops yield for example increases by 40% for a doubling of CO2 – it is not clear why Western countries should spend trillions of dollars which they do have to fight the ‘war’ on carbon dioxide or carbon. We are carbon based life forms. What is the consequence of carbon ‘pollution’?

July frosts reduce Brazil wheat, coffee output – state
Parana, one of Brazil’s top two wheat-producing states, will lose 33 percent of its current wheat crop that is maturing in the field, bringing current expected output to 1.9 million tonnes, farm secretary’s statistics coordinator Carlos Winckler Godinho told Reuters. Parana is a minor coffee-growing state.
A new cold front that is likely to create frost again over Brazil’s southern wheat crop was settling in over Parana on Wednesday, with temperatures likely to drop near freezing early Thursday morning. That could cause more losses to the crop.

ReutersReuters – 23 hours ago
Godinho also said that 62 percent of next year’s coffee crop would be lost due to the frosts that hit the state’s farms in late July. That is roughly equivalent to 1 million 60-kg bags of potential from next year’s crop.
Climate Confusion Confiscation
How about: ‘Climate Doom’..?
Could be updated to ‘Climate Doom 2’…
…and so on…
Actually, the word “climate” is too restrictive in the political world. Something like “Deep Do Do” would better serve the agenda.
Climate sequestration … you know, because the temperature rise has been sequestered in the oceans.
The really irritating thing is the way alarmists keep referring to CO2 as ‘Carbon’ pollution. That’s about as stupid as saying water is hydrogen pollution.

bit late to the party,and i voted for lucia,s D.E.A.T.H
but i thought that Some Heat In The Earth (S.H.I.T.E) would reflect the level of applied science involved in the global warming scam.
Hey, what happened to my favorite? What about “The White Wind”????
Or maybe “The White-Hispanic Wind”?
“Climate Confusion.
That’s what the world is today.
Hey, Hey.”
No, here it is……Climate New Normal, which also serves to distract the public from the economic new normal as a side purpose to deflect attention from the lost decade or two that is upon us. BTW, that lost economic decade for incomes, careers, and growth makes bad public policy like climate change wars far more expensive than if they were perpetrated in high growth epochs like the peak baby boomer income years or dual income rise from womens rapid entry rate into the workforce.
