Poll question: New name for Global Warming? (poll) |
|
Edited on Mon Feb-20-06 06:04 PM by kansasblue
Global Warming! Nice name, how could it be bad? Like calling a house fire 'a domestic temperature anomaly'.
Come on folks, it's a little worst than that and the name doesn't convey the need for immediate action. Should we at DU should lead the way for a new name?
The candidates are: (cue theme music)

6. If the polar caps melt, wont that shift the center of gravity? |
|
What will that do to the North South position, what about in the orbit? Think about it.

think that warmer temperatures are a good thing :eyes: they don't understand what another degree or two will really do.

13. Changing terms is not the solution to a lack of understanding |
|
Address the reasons " they don't understand what another degree or two will really do."

12. Global Climate Change |
|
is another name sometimes used and I think it is better cause some people get confused thinking a 'little warm-up' is a good thing. :-(

18. Something White people dont like. |
|
Warming sounds kinda you know, warm and fuzzy, pleasant. But if there is one thing most white people i know is they hate "the heat" or being "hot" SO i propose global HEATING or the global hotness increase. Or better yet tell them that soon enough their land and forests will not be "European" anymore :o but more like "the jungle" or Haiti! so we'll call it "global jungle encroachment" nothing to get fat, white, surburbanites more motivated than to tell then they might live in a place like Africa or something!
