Big oil consultant and hardline green Dana Nuccittelli has revealed the latest climate catchphrase which will make us all care: “Atmospheric Radicalization”
‘The atmosphere is being radicalized’ by climate change
To paraphrase Donald Trump, this is radical atmospheric change and Republicans won’t even mention the words.
Climate change’s impacts on extreme weather and society are becoming increasingly clear and undeniable. While we are making progress in solving the problem, we’re still moving too slowly, and one of the two political parties governing the world’s strongest superpower continues to deny the science. This led astrophysicist Katie Mack to make the following suggestion, related to a common refrain from Donald Trump and Republican Party leaders:
Maybe governments will actually listen if we stop saying "extreme weather" & "climate change" & just say the atmosphere is being radicalized

… [snip: boring list of rehashed climate claims] …
Denying science won’t stop climate change damages
These are but a few recent examples of climate extremes amplified by human-caused global warming. These extreme events will only come with greater frequency and intensity as the planet continues to heat up.
The only way to curb these impacts is to cut the carbon pollution that’s intensifying them. As any member of Alcoholics Anonymous knows, denying a problem doesn’t make it go away. Only by admitting we have a problem and taking steps to address it can we avoid a catastrophic outcome.
Given a recent surveys which show people are far more worried about corruption and clowns than climate change, maybe the greens are missing a bet. Perhaps “climate clowning” or “environmental government corruption” would grab people’s attention.

“Climate Clowning” is sheer genius. Fantastic!
Talk about a double meaning. Perfect.
I missed that earlier. Yes, “Perfect”.
Feels like I’m stepp’in into the Twilight Zone…
I’ve been there awhile now.
“The Glib-Lib Rename Name”
* Global Warming
* Climate Change
* Climate Weirding
* Climate Radicalization
From the same mentality that brought you…
* Reverse Discrimination (against white males)
* Race Quotas
* Employment Equity
* Target Numbers
I’m old enough to remember when various terms were legitimate…
* Colored People (Hint… NAACP == National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) http://www.naacp.org/
* Negroes (Hint… United Negro College Fund) https://www.uncf.org/
* Black People
* Afro-Americans
And there are multiple other examples. What is it with constant re-naming?
Every genera wants their own catch phrases
I’m getting a bit long in the tooth myself.
One of my younger co-workers (who was taking a course on “Black History”) was explaining to me why “blacks” prefer to be called “african-americans”.
She said it it was because a white journalist came up with the term to replace “negroe”.
I’m old enough to remember the original Black Panthers and I’m sure they didn’t choose that name because some white told them too!
PS As I understand it, “pansgender” is slowly replacing “bisexual” in some circles.
“A rose by any other name is still….”
Someone is standing on top of a very tall tower shouting religious texts or radical political theory at the air?
The “Atmosphere Radicalized?”
Old “Climate Change” is now despised.
With this Washington speak
their hot air starts to reek
of Ozone. “Free radicals pride!” https://lenbilen.com/2016/10/27/climate-change-is-now-atmospheric-radicalization-a-limerick/
Atmospheric Radicalization — Too may syllables. Too had to say. Not catchy at all. They need something simple. How about “Bad Air”?

The atmosphere has “The Vapors”?
It is about time we just kept repeating back to them, “Nothing has changed in the weather” because nothing really has changed. The weather is just all within the natural range of weather that has been experienced since weather recording started.
2 record high temps across the world today, and 4 close to the record cold today. That is actually much lower for both of these numbers than one would expect just based on the statistical probabilities.

Another meaningless phrase in the long list vomited by Cultural Marxists. If it gains traction, the UN will define it for the useful idiots, as they have ‘climate change’ and ‘civil society’.
Closing comment about people not being worried about climate issues was prescient. I opened up this article on my cell phone and the ad that popped up was for leasing a flagrantly large and un-green 2016 SUV.
Both President Obama and Hillary Clinton have occasionally blamed the internet for the radicalization of Muslims. Perhaps the internet is also to blame for the radicalization of the atmosphere. I have the feeling, though, that Nuccittelli would blame climate change for the radicalization of both. After all, to him there is nothing under our yellow sun that super CO2 is incapable of doing, unless it is exposed to the kryptonite of green energy.
Banana Nuttycelli has totally lost the plot
So much for settled science.
They cannot even decide upon the name to call their hypothesis/conjecture.
Next we will hear that the climate shouts at us: allahu akbar.
The sad part is that as these idiots beak off, the governments of the world listen. The sad truth is that without CO2 life on earth would cease to exist. Yet our governments want to tax it and eradicate it. I truly feel that our human society is doomed 🙁
If he wasn’t so dangerous, Dana would be an object of pity, a pathetic pathological liar suffering from delusions.
I’m very unimpressed with any theory/scam/lie that must change it’s name every few years in an attempt to maintain visibility.
You mean to tell me all this time I have been looking at radicalized stratocumulus clouds?
It’s all in how well it’s packaged, represented and defined, as is any manufactured product designed to be sold to the public. You must first establish a need, then foster a desire and motivation to buy.
With a little more time and effort, and possibly some top notch marketing help, there’s little doubt they can get the job done.
“Atmospheric radicalization lies matter” ….. It’s a new social movement!
“As any member of Alcoholics Anonymous knows, denying a problem doesn’t make it go away”
Well, I believe we’ve been brought to a brand new low; skeptics of the AGW hypothesis are now likened to the chemically dependent. It was scary enough when we were simply “the other camp”. Now we’re clinical, in medical terms.
Is there an equivalent to Goodwin’s Law we can invoke here?
