Expect to hear New and Improved Nomenclature!!
The Green-a-Wonks ("Save the Earth, Kill the Humans") have been advised to tune up their predictions of impending doom with new, sparkly, enticing, language.
Instead of grim warnings about global warming, the firm advises, talk about “our deteriorating atmosphere.” Drop discussions of carbon dioxide and bring up “moving away from the dirty fuels of the past.” Don’t confuse people with cap and trade; use terms like “cap and cash back” or “pollution reduction refund.”
Hmmmmm...
How about just calling it all "bullshit"?

2) Still just a little too wet to plow.
