Here’s a bit of news about the UK paper The Guardian that will no doubt be welcomed by Green New Deal proponents in the U.S.:
NEW: In email to staff, The Guardian says it’s changing the style guide when reporting on climate change…
– “Climate emergency, crisis” instead of “climate change”
– “Global heating” instead of “global warming”
– “Climate science denier” instead of “climate sceptic” pic.twitter.com/HDtZEuIkqK

The Guardian (UK) is changing how it discusses climate change in its style guide.
"Instead of “climate change” the preferred terms are “climate emergency, crisis or breakdown” and “global heating” is favoured over “global warming”https://t.co/GjupUW5GM2

The “science” must not be as “settled” as they think if it’s necessary to ramp up the rhetoric to that degree.
Pathetic alarmism masquerading as journalism. https://t.co/mmlkgi8mCX

And they wonder how Trump gets away with calling the media "fake news." H/t @JohnEkdahl. https://t.co/O2cbDPkOX1

They’re already at “you’re about to die,” which hasn’t left them much wiggle room for future alarmism.
You had me at "“Climate science denier” instead of “climate sceptic”". #ClimateScam https://t.co/iJtxIVC62D

Of course, from a scientific and literal point of view, this is idiotic. But if you read the Guardian for your climate change news, then you deserve to be misinformed.

Right?
The @guardian also says Britain will have a Siberian climate by next year, and civilization will be destroyed.https://t.co/NpMog5Dghk pic.twitter.com/XoADiRjdjn

Maybe The Guardian should consider a possible reason the alarmist rhetoric is falling on increasingly deaf ears.
