Examples

“In global climate-speak, terms like 'scenario', 'impact', 'vulnerability', 'irreversible', 'mitigation', 'adaptation' and 'adaptive capacity' have become common currency, verbal coins sometimes so worn that they almost lose meaning, even though they carry sinister messages about the future of humanity.”

“This is another example where climate-speak removes itself from common parlance and common sense.”
