Climate scientist Andrew Glikson asks us to not speak about "climate change"
"The late 20th century to early 21st century global greenhouse gas levels and regional warming rates have reached a large factor to an order of magnitude faster than warming events of past geological and mass extinction events, with major implications for the nature and speed of extreme weather events.
For these reasons the term “climate change” for the current extreme warming, which is reaching +1.5°C over the continents and more than +3°C over the Arctic over a period shorter than one century, no longer applies.
The world is looking at an extremely rapid shift in the climatic conditions that have allowed civilization to emerge."
