WUWT recently covered the lexicon shift at the White House: Lexicon Shift Alert: global warming gets another name change.
This seems generally harmless, but wait until you see the source of one of the names on that list: “Climate Disruption”.
We find out who thinks up new memes and names, it’s the University of Oregon. No, really, they sponsor this strange document that reads like a B movie script. And, they have reasons for thinking up such names.
They even have a “trick” for talking to the “UnGreen” people. Apparently, even though I have solar power on my home, own an electric car, and have other green tendencies, because I tend to look at natural variation explanations as a portion of the global warming puzzle, and because I do it (solar power) mostly for avoiding high energy prices, I’m apparently one of the “UnGreen”.
Here is the report:

(h/t to reader Steve in Oregon)
Like with “Mike’s Nature Trick”, they have a language “trick” on page 37:
Translation: make people tense and fearful by tapping into their base fears.
Like most liberal enterprises, they have a strong need to label and bin everyone so they can be managed. Here’s their table of labels for people on the same page. I found last one “UnGreens” to be laughable, almost like its a joke to them, like calling people the “undead” aka zombies.
Here is how they say you should talk to “UnGreens”:
So after all the labeling, binning, and handwringing over people that don’t think as they do, they come up with the lexicon to combat the problem. From page 11:
All of this is done with government grants, your tax dollars at work.
In our recent poll, “Irritable Climate Syndrome” took the top spot.
Given the “UnGreen” labeling and the feeling of this being nothing more than a bad horror movie script, I propose this for the next cover page of their work:
In case you don’t recognize the image, see this.

BTW, is that a safe way to carry a kid on a bicycle? If someone pulls out in front of her or if she crosses a railroad grade that makes an oblique angle, the result could be a squished kid. Oh well, squished kids are very green and don’t consume resources after the funeral.
For some of us, real evidence trumps scary labels every time.
I didn’t see the mention of the biggest group of all the true believers …. watermelons.
I see a bit of irony on the cover picture with the 2 bicyclists. Give the width of the bikelane, they should be riding one in front of the other. She is arguably near the edge of the bikelane, closer to traffic, putting junior at increased risk. She is also blocking hubby in, if he needs to avoid a car door opening. They are both taking avoidable risks. I say this as a kind of bicycle advocate with in traffic riding experience. Bikelanes are quite an extensive topic but they are not the issue I am raising. A rider works with the lanes they have, and tries to be as safe as possible.
ungreen = ungood. Next, double plus ungreen.
Reading this analysis leaves me with a sense of unreality.
Why manipulate people when you have that power and funding, when you haven’t grasped the environmental problem itself.
Comrade Gillard, Oz’s last Prime Minister called it ‘carbon pollution’ here in 2010, now she is past history. http://www.news.com.au/features/federal-election/julia-gillard-my-carbon-price-promise/story-fn5tar6a-1225907552000
My congratulations to RichardG for the most succinct and penetrating comment of the day.
“CO2 it’s what’s for dinner” What a great T shirt or bumper sticker!
Now this is the sort of thing that gets the ordinary citizen angry because this shows very clearly that the alarmist objective is to manipulate and control. People don’t like being controlled, but they especially don’t like being manipulated, which is akin to being lied to and used.
If the doom-mongers have to bring manipulation into the game, it’s because there isn’t enough reason or science to sway the people. Their arguments have failed, there is only force left. That should tell people something.
Thank you for publishing this – it’s important that people see this for what it is.
What kind of questions could they ask?
What ‘person’ ends up as:
“Cruel Worlders ….. Resentment and isolation leave no room for environmental concerns”?
Who answers giving the impression of “Little can be done to protect the environment, so why not get a piece of the pie”?
What the hell is a “Murky Middle” “Indifferent to most everything…”?
“Greenspeak” is the word someone used.
This is truly “1984”.
Did ol’ Lew and Johnny get a hold of this survey?
cn
It isn’t easy being ungreen.
I would like to propose “Klimate Twitterpation” for the new name for the climate con, both to show its communist roots and to give it a fresh new identity.
Quite a few got the “unpeople” reference. There’s nothing funny about 1984 being used as a textbook (as it has been in Oz).
Incidentally, the “Ungreens” seemed pretty green to me – ecotourism, worried about energy security, reducing consumption, fitting solar. So these grubs are saying there’s an even more unpeople class below them. (An example might be hyperemitters like Qatari billionaire al-Gore.)

…. What strikes me is that their classification system is so much a product of their own fevered imaginations that their suggestions inhibit communication rather than supporting it…..
>>>>>>>>>>>>
It has nothing to do with communication. It is all about “Building Consensus.” US farmers went through that crap a few years ago. Despite 90% being opposed to Animal ID (and the new farm regs) we got ‘Delphi’d’ worn down and finally tricked. (Ain’t lame duck congressional sessions great)
Please notice in this case “Green Americans” are only 9% of the population with another 24% to 27% who are sheep following the ‘In thing” This means they most certainly do not have a ‘Majority’ and have to create the illusion of having one. That is where the Delphi technique comes in.
Farmers got a taste of this method of manipulation. USDA employing Delphi Technique: Prepare to be Delphi’d!
Now people are noticing what is happening in their town meetings:
The Delphi Technique. Have you ever been Delphied …
(Interesting that the information has spread from the farming community)
Sound familiar?
Re: “Traditionalists” 20% “Religion and morality dictate actions in a world where humans are superior to nature.”
These “greens” appear to worship nature, sacrificing massive resources to prevent humans for changing it. They show no understanding or recognition that the USA was founded by the Declaration of Independence which acknowledges that we are “endowed by [our] Creator with certain unalienable Rights”, entitled by “the laws of nature and of nature’s God”, rely on “the protection of Divine Providence”, and appeal to the “Supreme Judge of all the world for the rectitude of our intentions”.
For example, consider what the Cornwall Alliance actually holds based on objective evidence:
Those “greens” appear to be both anti-American and anti-religious.
This PDF from the same site is even funnier. It’s all about how to talk to sceptics:
http://www.climateaccess.org/sites/default/files/T&T_Best%20Practices%20for%20Talking%20with%20Climate%20Skeptics.pdf
It advises the eco-minions that “if you’re not a scientist, don’t argue the fine points of science” with sceptics.
They’ve basically admitted in one sentence that most tree-huggers haven’t got a clue about the science behind the Earth’s climate, so a sceptic would kick their butts when it came to a proper technical discussion about gorebull warmuning
These people are so offensive it’s staggering.
They are not seeking to persuade people.
They are conniving to train, infect, corrupt, deceive and manipulate people into behaving as they demand.
At the same time this propaganda is being spread communities are being invaded with public policies to assist in altering behaviors.
Just look at this local crap. Nobody asked for this or voted for this.

CLIMATE SMART COMMUNITIES SCENARIOS PROJECT: JPACT
Gail: Delphi Crowd Manipulation:
Or, of 7 groups, those opposing will be broken out into only 2 or 4 of the total groups – NEVER a majority – where their statements get “outvoted” against the majority of manipulated groups. the manipulated groups then produce the “consensus ‘ that the town hall or planning meeting is designed to produce.
Alt: the outspoken critics are spread out into every one of the groups, but not allowed to voice their scientific or traffic control plans or sidewalk expansion and walkway objections or “mandatory” park-and-bike path-garden space objections so that “everybody” can speak. Thus, the easily manipulated and “consensus” views drown them out on a 4 to 1 or 2 to 1 basis.
tax funded GREEN CATECHISM…..unbelievable.
psst….don’t mention the science… (they don’t).
For anyone with a mind this sort of stuff should lay bare the whole twisted ideology.
I am speechless, for once.

Just remember to vote next year. Help that low information voter every chance you get!
It matters,,,,,,,,, just look at what you got………
What on earth can they mean by this: “‘Global Warming’ sounds serious and something that could be caused by human activities, yet it leads to the warming problem mentioned above”? Are they admitting that “global warming” has stopped, and are thus trying to change the song and dance?
And I wonder how they recommend talking to that huge chunk of “Traditionalists” in their list? With a pitchfork and torch in hand?
