Climatespeak

The Kyoto Protocol proposes other issues, such as adaptation, complementarity, capacity-building and other climatespeak that would boggle people not in the know.

This is “climatespeak” for stating that no changes in hurricanes, thunderstorms, hail, floods, tornadoes, and the like have been observed.

In the broadest sense, most think of two types of responses to catastrophic climate change: mitigation, climatespeak for reducing pollution that is causing the problem in the first place; and adaptation, rolling with the punches and adjusting to live with rising temperatures, rising sea levels, and exteme events.
