Use "yellow journalism" instead of "journalism".
-
Let's not use alarmist language about the literal destruction of the biosphere as we know it! Yellow journalism implies a lack of facts. There are plenty of scientific facts out there but disingenuous people aren't listening with excuses of "it's just a theory".

A good start. "Sceptic" is a particularly problematic one as it is a badge of honour to rightwingers who see themselves surrounded by gullible fools buying into the climate myth spread by Big Science.

Agreed. But also interesting is the existence of an “audience team” to advise on what terms for their journalists to use to get online traction.

Funny.... You could probably display your own misunderstanding more exuberantly, but I'm not quite sure how.

Also here In the US it's talked as a national emergency ... It's a GLOBAL emergency... It needs to be treated likewise by all on Earth. Not just a few countries.
-
"Talked about" =/= "treated". US does virtually nothing.
-
Less than nothing. We’re active detractors.

“Climate science denier” is really important, too. These people aren’t questioning in good faith; they’re ignoring a mountain of evidence to push an agenda.

the importance of language

Critically important. The reason American women are currently being relegated to state property is because of 40+ years of successful conditioning with the “pro-life” (anti-woman) demagoguery. The barbarians are now primed. Like Pavlov’s dogs, they salivate at the ringing.

Yeah because to deny is the same as to be sceptic.
@guardian proves again what a dirty rag of a newspaper they are. -
Skeptical is having questions, denial is being payed by wealthy individuals with vested interests to ignore provable facts and spreading debunkable misinformation.
