"Global Warming is only 3% of news now. Currently if your paying attention, it's Climate Change" Only the name was changed, to protect the guilty. Technically speaking, warming is the change in temperature, and climate change is everything the increase causes, like rising sea levels, more extreme weather, etc. But, I digress; back to a guilty name-changer. The guy who changed it is now mourning in sack cloth and ashes, crying, "Oh, my children, I have doomed you. How can I make it right?" His come-to-Moses moment made him repent, but it's too late for redemption.. Frank Luntz, the GOP’s message master, calls for climate action By Kate Yoder on Jul 25, 2019 Get your daily dose of good news from Grist Subscribe To The Beacon Frank Luntz’s up-close encounter with our increasingly wild weather came at 3:15 a.m. one morning, when the GOP master messenger woke up to his phone blaring an emergency evacuation warning. Luntz saw flames outside his bedroom window. The famous pollster’s home in Los Angeles was in the path of the Skirball Fire, one of the many wildfires that destroyed parts of Southern California in December 2017. Luntz, whose advice helped Republicans hold power for years and also keep their heads in the sand when it comes to climate change, cited the fire as an example of the climate crisis made personal. He’s the same political consultant who convinced conservatives to rebrand the “estate tax” as the “death tax.” He crafted talking points for the Koch brothers and reportedly convinced the Trump administration to talk about “border security” to drum up support for building a border wall. But the reality of climate change is increasingly too hard to ignore. “The courageous firefighters of L.A., they saved my home, but others aren’t so lucky,” he said as he recounted the tale during a Senate testimony on Thursday. “Rising sea levels, melting ice caps, tornadoes, and hurricanes more ferocious than ever. It is happening.”... grist.org
