Dear friends: George Monbiot a British journalist for The Guardian and author, while being interviewed by Amy Goodman, brought up the very important point that Climate Change is an innocuous term that does not convey that it is the greatest catastrophe humanity has ever faced. This is the comment by a "celebrity" closest to our call for categorizing Climate Change as a MAJOR DISASTER. We have not changed the name but we have defined its nature. Here is the paragraph from the interview that refers to that discussion. Please click on the link for the whole interview. GEORGE MONBIOT: Well, "climate change" is a curiously bland term to describe our greatest crisis, our huge human predicament, that will inevitably lead to catastrophe if we don’t take drastic action to prevent it. It’s a bit like calling a foreign invasion "unexpected guests." It’s that crazily bland, for something which is going to have such an enormous impact on our lives, and, as we’ve just been hearing, has already had such an enormous impact on many people’s lives around the world. And unless you use the right language to describe what you’re talking about, you mislead people as to what the likely implications of that are. And by talking about climate change as if it—"You know, it could be a good thing, could be a bad thing, who knows? It might be a neutral thing. You know, we like a bit of climate change, don’t we? We like it when the winter gives way to summer"—we suggest that this huge catastrophe might not be a catastrophe at all. I don’t think "climate breakdown" is the perfect term. I can’t quite put my finger on the right term, but I think it comes a lot closer to what we need to be saying than "climate change" does.
