    I don’t meet too many people that say that “it’s cold outside” thing anymore. Even the politicians, at least in my country, don’t. Now they just argue about what’s causing global warming, or whether it’s worth trying to fight it.

    I think changing terms confuses people and should be avoided whenever possible.

    Especially because GWB was right, “climate change” is less scary sounding.

      Well Trump and many of his supporters are very much in this opinion…

      That’s millions of people in the United States that think “global warming is an hoax” and it matters. This news does show that individual states can still transition to greener energy sources but it’s still a major issue that the president pushes hard his toxic ideas…
