You gotta love Andy B. Sadly, how you label something really does seem to matter, especially in this case. If a name change works I'm all for it. I never liked Climate Change, or AGW ( AKA Anthropogenic Global Warming) either. One is weak and the other too nerdy. Something in between needs to be used. Global Warming doesn't work either because its confusing when the warming is said to cause cooling conditions as well.

When i read all last week that some people do not react to climate change but find global warming terrifying I had to think about it too. Apparently lots of people have very very weak information and go by the headlines only. Another name change will be helpful but it will also fuel the deniers beyond belief.
