    climate disaster, crash, catastrophe etc are more accurate nouns to describe the global environmental crisis impacting every living being on Earth, than the tepid ‘change’ & CNN can’t even muster the audacity to utter that weak word

      Agreed. My go to is “climate crisis.” Climate change was a term developed by the fossil fuel industry in focus groups to purposefully sound less scary
