Summary:
This is a summary of a newspaper article that has been published to inform the readers about changes that they perform on the terms used to describe the environmental crisis. In this article, the author pointed out how the Guardian introduces new terms that more accurately describe the environmental crisis which becomes a serious problem facing the world. Thus, they changed the term “ climate change “ to “ climate emergency or crisis or breakdown “ and the term “ global warming “ to “ global heating “ because they want to be scientifically precise while communicating clearly with readers. Climate scientists and organisations from the UN are changing their terminology and using stronger language to describe a catastrophe situation we’re in, since the former terms sounds rather passive and gentle. Also politically, the Labour Party in The UK recently endorsed declaration of a “ climate emergency “ term. In addition the world’s scientists said carbon emissions must halve by 2030 to avoid greater risk of drought,floods,extreme heat and poverty for hundreds of millions of people. Then the global scientists said human society was in big danger because of the destruction of the ecosystem that support all life on Earth. Other terms that have been updated such as “wildlife “ instead of “ biodiversity “,” fish population “ instead of “ fish stocks “ and “ climate science denier “ instead of “ climate sceptic “. Finally, the Guardian’s style guide was updated by the addition of the global carbon dioxide levels to the Guardian’s daily weather pages, since the levels of CO2 in the atmosphere have risen so dramatically. To sum up people need reminding that the climate crisis is no longer a future problem, but we need to tackle it now and every day matters.
