If climate stability has changed I like it being called climate change.
- bee_rider 2y agoIt just sounds a little dry. I think environmentalists have done a good job drilling the fact that it is a bad thing into us, but in the face of it “climate change” sounds like a sort of generic and neutral process. Global warming was a little better (I think? Or maybe I just grew up knowing it was a bad thing). Climate Instability sounds sort of clearly bad (I think most people consider instability bad).
- et-al 2y agoIf we're workshopping this for you: "climate change" has alliteration and is only 3 syllables compared to "instability" which has a mouthful of 5 syllables.
- School-Cotton 2y agoAlliteration has to do with sounds, not letters.
- bee_rider 2y agoSomeone else suggested Climate Crisis which is actually alliterative and also sounds bad rather than neutral like “change.”
- SV_BubbleTime 2y agoSeems like you are really interested in marketing.
- bee_rider 2y agoIt’s just the way the conversation happened to flow. I think everyone has an opinion on names. For solutions I’m in favor of really aggressive carbon taxes and sanctions/secondary sanctions against that don’t implement them. But that’s the sort of thing better left to regulators and diplomats.
