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.
They are correct about one thing and will understand this one thing only as the noose tightens.
A constant barrage of propaganda does indeed increase tension in the target group.
Trust in government officials, government funded organisms and the institutions of government is at an all time low. The activists see no ethical problem with dishonesty, corrupt practises as long as the cause is served, yet insist that the public must trust authority.(Meaning themselves)
So we become aware that our government officials are lying to us, acting against the interests of civil society, while sneering from an assurance of immunity.
Tension will grow into anger and then action.
Having no education in human history, no understanding of human nature and trapped in the cult mentality, they have no idea of the whirlwind they are sowing.
ROTFLMAO! You owe me a monitor.
Absolutely classic. Well done sir!
@george h –
Your skit reminds one of how the children were the worst sort of spies and snitches on their parents in Orwell’s 1984.
The “Common Core” curriculum actually calls for kids to do what you describe in your piece.
It’s a good thing I don’t have kids in school, because if I did and they brought this slop home to me I’d be right in the face of their teacher and their school board and be quite loud about it.
Telling kids Global warming is going to kill the planet and, by extension, them is CHILD ABUSE.
“””””……Ric Werme says:

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…….””””””
Ric, it’s probably at least as safe as putting the kid in a trundler, that is dragged along behind the bike, with a tall flexible rod that has a flag on it to inform nearby drivers;
“Hey, I’m too careless to put my kid in an Underwriters approved car safety seat, like you do with your kid in your car. But then, your car is a much more dangerous place for a kid, than down on the street behind my bike.”
“But hey, it’s ok, because when my kid is not in his bike trundle, I let him play out in the road, in an old washing machine cardboard box, so that he gets used to the sound of the cars swishing around him !”
Proud to be an “Ungreen American” versus a “Green Slave” on the Obama Government Plantation.
But deeply saddened by the numbers of people who are going to swallow this pure unadulterated propaganda, hook, line, and sinker.
No word for this but PROPOGANDA, clear and simple. Another would be PROFILING of people smart enough to not buy into this “Anthropogenic Global Warming” movement by what ever words they want to use to describe it on a given day.
“Proper understanding” really sounds like the Maoist rhetoric about being a good citizen with correct thoughts.
Regarding the Delphi Method: there is a strategy that is a bit more difficult but would be more honest: plan for dissenting opinions. The Supreme Court decisions are a leading example.
In July 2011, an ad hoc committee of the Institute of Medicine released a report, “Clinical Preventive Services for Women.” This committee reviewed evidence regarding potential benefits of various health practices such as screening for gestational diabetes. They developed a set of recommendations. For the scope of the project, it was quite impressive that the work was done in six months.
About five minutes after its release, HHS Secretary Sebelius decided that Obamacare would include those services recommended at no cost/no copay in Obamacare.
Do you think the fix was in, or what? A quick comprehensive review never happens. And govt is slow to adopt pronouncements coming out of expert panels. This was, I believe orchestrated.
I paid attention since I am concerned with another totalitarian love affair: the desire to control everyone’s fertility, rather than leaving it up to us individual lovers (and test tubes, I guess). I believe a family is generally fine in deciding how many children to have, and that major planetary programs are not needed to convince nations and individual families what the “proper” number, and timing, of children is. But call me crazy.
The committee’s final recommendation was: “The full range of Food and Drug Administration-approved contraceptive methods, sterilization procedures, and patient education and counseling for all women with reproductive capacity.” Paid for my me and my tax dollars. Curious how they place it as the final one, after all the obvious stuff.
http://www.iom.edu/~/media/Files/Report%20Files/2011/Clinical-Preventive-Services-for-Women-Closing-the-Gaps/Preventive%20Services%20Women%202011%20Report%20Brief.pdf
Now, what disease is prevented or cured by birth control? Why must it be covered by “health” insurance?
Pregnancy is a normal part of life. They were not talking about controlling acne or excessive menstrual flow. They were talking about preventing pregnancy. They crossed the line from healthcare to social engineering: controlling who gets born when. Especially among those of low SES.
This is why their report title was ‘clinical preventive services,’ and not ‘clinical preventive healthcare services.’
They knew what they were doing.
In the long report, they have a convoluted justification for this birth control coverage – it is about as elegant as this Green verbal gymnastics stuff.
So, when I heard there was a dissenting opinion in the report, I thought it would address this, exactly – that birth control is a matter of lifestyle choice or of population control, not a matter of disease prevention or cure.
Strangely, it was not the topic of the dissenting opinion. The dissenting opinion was a member who said they could not get behind the report because it was completed in too hasty a manner – six months was not enough to decently complete the task.
I think this was a great example of how to have an expert consensus development.
Yes, the Delphi process tends to favor the most politically connected, or most common view, over and above accuracy. A weak but politically favored view can prevail – if some idea is weak, there often will be two-three leading critiques/alternatives, and so you can split those opponents out into weak groups, unless they somehow rally together.
That is just the nature of it.
I believe these Delphi processes should, at the outset, plan on discovering and sharing dissenting / minority opinions. A process can be developed in advance to identify who will write the dissent.
It is possible that in some Delphi-type reports, the dissents might take more pages than the consensus. This is all fine and good, as far as I can see.
So, if any of you end up in some position of leadership in developing any consensus view by a Delphi-type process, please suggest or plan on deliberate detection and reporting of minority opinions.
Right, as expected, the evil UnGreens like “natural causes”. But wait, are those widdle ringy bells which the apparently brain dead Greenists each have on their left handle bar? Man, that framing sh** must be able to hypnotize us marks so well that we might do just about anything they want us to!
All the above Fantasy Science Cult’s literature is amusing.

Yo! Listen up. In the tiny little hashish-filled tent that is your world, what you say appears to you to be of great significance. It’s not.
The average American either:
1) Doesn’t give a rip about Climate Anything — OR
2) Is laughing at you.
And those who print your literature?
They own your mind.
Don’t like that? Then, get real.
Protesting is sooo, like 20th century. DANCIN’ in the streets,

Uh, the disease which is prevented by birth control is children, it is one of the most common STD’s, and the effects it has on young people can be severe.
We don’t need kids having more kids, don’t get me wrong, I’m well aware that the overpopulation and Malthusian arguments are a load of crap… I’ve simply had to raise kids at a young age, and it is not something anyone should take lightly.
Though, at least if you’re going to rant about being anti-birth control, you should just be honest and admit you hate women, as there is no reason beyond misogyny to argue that while men can have sex without major consequences, any woman who has sex should have to deal with whatever happens, even if it takes the next 20 years of her life to do so.
American Psy-ops is not responsible for the typos (LOL!) in the above video.
Whoa, what in the world is that Max guy going on about THAT for???
That is why, Janice.
Agenda 21 news speak is poison for your mind. The brainwasher change agents don’t seem to understand we’re on to their psychological operations.
[OFF TOPIC WARNING]
Hi, Max,
Well, even though it’s off-topic, I felt I must say something in support of you (esp. given my rather rude remark above, sorry). While I agree with The Last Democrat (IF ONLY!), that children are not a “disease,” but a blessing, I AGREE WITH YOU, Max. Birth control is a VERY GOOD THING. (I don’t count the “morning-after pill” as “birth control,” btw — it is homicide.)
Glad you are here, Max. And I’m glad those hard days are behind you. WAY TO GO, not running out on those kids. That took so much courage and love. No one will ever know how much, huh? Single-parenting is so hard. I get tired of conservatives (with whom I largely agree on most issues) thoughtlessly bashing “single parents” in toto as IF they all wanted it to be that way. ALL of the single moms and dads I’ve known personally (and I realize there are deadbeat welfare check creep moms, i.e., they intentionally have children to get more welfare $$) would much have preferred to have a loving husband (or wife) and father (or mother) in the home. Alas, that just can’t be for many. And they daily fight the battle of going to getting their kids to school, going to work, and coming home to keep right on working until they fall into bed exhausted (often, falling asleep in their chair before they can get there).
Take care, real life hero,
Janice
Please forgive me, m-o-d-er-a-tor, for accidentally using [ ] above — that habit is so hard to break. I really am trying to heed your request to not use them.
Notice this about their report:
“This guide was made possible thanks to a grant from the Quixote Foundation.”
They left this out –
“This guide was made possible thanks to a grant from the Quixote Foundation, with inspiration from George Orwell, Paul Joseph Goebbels and Mao Tse-tung .”
The Quixote Foundation plans to be spent up and gone by 2017.
Good one, Sasha, lol (or NOT laughing, hm).
I’m more optimistic; I think the Quixote Foundation will joust at one windmill too many by the end of 2013. Bwah, ha, ha, ha, haaaaaaaaaaa!
LOSERS!
It shows low much has been learnt from the PC world; control of the terms of the debate is everything.
For instance, their list of categories will appear to their readers to be complete. It doesn’t include my position though.
Rationalist: Believes that the power of scientific/technological progress leaves people free to make the correct moral decisions. The more humanity is freed from want the fewer children it has and more it appreciates and protects the environment.
I see the cycling family in your heading picture are using petrochemical helmets, backpacks, child’s braces (suspenders?) etc.How ”green” are they?

Having seen the picture at the very top of the piece I am worried that these people are giving cyclists a bad name!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
You are closer to the target than you think. Cyclists are being used to push the agenda.
These people are very very serious and are doing there darnest to get their AGENDA 21 implemented in a number of ways. Psyching out who is the opposition is just one of the ways.
The only way to make sense of gobblygook such as this, is to put yourself in their frame of mind, and to also, praise and thank big brother for the increase in the chocolate ration. Brain washed nutters all of them.

Liberal doesn’t mean alarmist, I’m actually a pure socialist-anarchist and am arguably more disgusted than most by supposedly left-wing groups and individuals pushing what amounts to a global pyramid scheme.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
The liberal/socialist vs conservative/capitalist divide is artificial and just another means of manipulation. The quote above comes from Rosa Koire who would be classed as very’Liberal/Socialist’ in the USA but she sees the rot Behind the Green Mask heck she wrote the BOOK!
Green also has the meaning of raw, niave, inexperienced, lacking practical knowledge.
However rather than tagging those of opposing opinion with pejorative terms how about discussing the subject with objective, empirical evidence? To do otherwise is to lower the level of arguement to a slanging match.
In the meantime I am more pre-occupied with the latest “Climate Acne”, with random hotspots, coldspots, dry spots and wetspots dotting the face of the plant. Does the Earth need cleaning, mosturing and toning?
