Own the Vocabulary


How Doublespeak Is Ruining Our Environment is a great article from the Huffington Post.

Something I think we should address more. We must use plain, honest language  and not fall into using the double-speak of those who would have us believe the Climate Change is either not happening, or nothing to worry about.

These are some of my preferred phrases and vocabulary, and I encourage other people to use them all the time.

not Global Warming or Climate Change - Climate Chaos

Dirty Fuels -in place of  Fossil Fuels  The Dirty Fuels Industry. Or perhaps that should be the Dirty Fools Industry

In NSW, not Planning Reform, rather Planning Abdication

What are your ideas for the vovabulary we should be using ?
