Paper to staff: Use 'climate crisis' ... 'change' is 'too gentle'
Monday, May 20, 2019
global warmingStaff at the Guardian newspaper of London, England, has been directed to address “global warming†more aggressively and use “climate crisis†or “climate emergency†instead of “climate change,†which it considers “too passive and gentle.â€
An internal communication at the British daily was obtained by the Washington Examiner, which dubs the paper as “a proud bastion of liberalism†in the United Kingdom.
“’Climate change’ [sounds] rather passive and gentle when what scientists are talking about is a catastrophe for humanity,†the Guardian’s internal email reads. “[Rather than] ‘climate skeptic,’ terms like ‘climate denier’ or ‘climate science denier’ [should be used] … ‘global heating’ … [instead of] ‘global warming.’"
