Greenhouse gas pollution v climate change
Climate change and emissions due to greenhouse gas pollution are referred to numerous times in this article. Yes, they are problematic.
However, climate change is only one symptom of GHG pollution and yet it is used as the general name for the variety of adverse impacts due to GHG pollution.
Climate change is hence a misnomer. When talking about it, please call it what it is: GHG pollution.
Similarly, when using the word, emissions, please call it what it is: GHG pollution.
The impacts are – all accept that we cannot live with pollution so it quietens those who debate/deny climate change and emissions to help prolong the use of fossil fuels.
