Why the Guardian is changing the language it uses about the environment

<https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/may/17/why-the-guardian-is-changing-the-language-it-uses-about-the-environment>

“We want to ensure that we are being scientifically precise, while also
communicating clearly with readers on this very important issue,” said
the editor-in-chief, Katharine Viner. “The phrase ‘climate change’, for
example, sounds rather passive and gentle when what scientists are
talking about is a catastrophe for humanity.”
