Per Oren:
It's a way to cover your ass in case something you weren't expecting
happens.

It's called "talking out both sides of your mouth".

I wasn't too excited about the newspeak - wondered where it came
from.... the media or the pols...

But, to put the best spin on it, "Climate Change" allows room for the
panoply of weird stuff that's coming our way that is not restricted to
just being warmer.
