In addition to “climate change” and “green,” EERE forbid officials from using “emissions” to avoid the implication that they are a negative. Climate change is caused by rising greenhouse gas emissions, which is driven primarily by burning oil, coal and natural gas for energy.

Other terms officials must ditch include “energy transition,” “sustainability/sustainable,” “‘clean’ or ‘dirty’ energy,” “Carbon/CO2 ‘Footprint’” and “Tax breaks/tax credits/subsidies.”

      It was almost 90°F here today. You can’t tell me global warming doesn’t also fucking apply to climate change.

      It doesn’t matter what doublespeak they use, it’s still happening

        How can you be so obtuse? Do you not recall when a US Senator brought a snowball onto the floor of the senate to completely disprove this hoax?
