"user_text": "I recently reached out to two leading and widely respected ecologists, Paul Hawken and Bill McKibben, to get their input on the mainstream usage of the benign phrase \u201cclimate change.\u201d McKibben now uses the far more potent phrase \u201cclimate chaos.\u201d Hawken believes the proper term is \u201cclimate volatility.\u201d\n\nOne thing is abundantly clear\u2015it\u2019s time to change the words to meet the peril! As Confucius said: \u201cIf language is not correct, then what is said is not what is meant; if what is said is not what is meant, then what must be done remains undone; if this remains undone, morals and art will deteriorate; if justice goes astray, the people will stand about in helpless confusion. Hence there must be no arbitrariness in what is said. This matters above everything.\u201d\n\nWould you join us in replacing the use of the all-together benign phrase \u201cclimate change\u201d with variations of more grave language? Consider the following alternatives: climate crisis, climate catastrophe, climate disruption, climate upheaval, or even global warming. Whatever choice of words, we should stop using \u201cclimate change.\u201d\n\nhttps://nader.org/2019/05/03/an-open-letter-to-the-environmental-community/
