Seems the primitives are noticing a whole lot of cold weather that contradicts the Goracle - and one wants to change the verbiage..

Global Climate Change.

As was pointed out on Rachel today - global warming might be happening - but because of its moniker - the Regressives take shots at Gore et al everytime we get a snowstorm or a cold snap.

From now on we need to use the term "Global Climate Change" - because this defines better what is happening to our planet.

I wish President Obama - in one of his speeches - redefines this and tells us all that we need to refer to it as "global climate change".

We need to take that asinine Regressive talking point away from the other side.

Another primitive tries to inject some sanity - but is ignored..

28. Dumbing down? Climatologists aren't sure if we are actually headed into an ice age.
   
So saying the earth is heating up and global warming is an accurate term for may actually happen is pretty dumb in itself.

and again..

26. Climate Volatility is the correct terminology. Saying "climate change" simply means the
climate changes, which it does anyway. And the Right uses that to obfuscate.

Global warming isn't accurate for what is happening because we may end up in another ice age.

Hey Dummy Global1, doesn't this have a whiff of dumb sheep about it?  Let's picture the scenario.  He would get laughed off the stage and lampooned for ages if he said what you want him to say.

So if we don't know which way it's really going, why are we screwing around trying to push it in one particular direction?

It seems to me that an ice age would have more potential for devastation, so why on earth would we want to make it worse by decreasing the CO2 and greenhouse gases in the atmosphere?

Well, we're still in an ice age. Have been, here on Earth, for over 3,000,000 years. We've has a few interglacial warm periods, like now. Last glaciation period we were down to about 4,000 humans living in Africa and all the "megafauna" except whales died off.

Clearly, warmer is better for life, and, btw, CO2 has been as high as 3,000 ppm in the atmosphere, and there has never been a "runaway green house effect", and during Dino period, 93,000,000 BP plus, CO2 was at up to 7,000 ppm, andSTILL no "runaway green house effect".

TERMITES give off more CO2 and methane than all humanity including industrial CO2.....yet the loonies are not suggesting we kill all termites.....

The weather guy was saying that up to a foot of global climate change could fall in the areas north of DFW.

Keep up the global climate change. It's giving me good practice for if I end up in Syracuse.
