In addition to “climate change” and “green,” EERE forbid officials from using “emissions” to avoid the implication that they are a negative. Climate change is caused by rising greenhouse gas emissions, which is driven primarily by burning oil, coal and natural gas for energy.
Other terms officials must ditch include “energy transition,” “sustainability/sustainable,” “‘clean’ or ‘dirty’ energy,” “Carbon/CO2 ‘Footprint’” and “Tax breaks/tax credits/subsidies.”

So would it now be considered acceptable to use something like " [INSERT FIRM] passed gas to the amount of [BLANK] tons over [PERIOD OF TIME] "
It sure would make reports a hell of alot more interesting.

Assholes have never even heard of a thesaurus. Plus, we now have AI at our backs. Behold, what ChatGPT ginned up for me a second ago:
- Global heating
- Planetary warming
- Atmospheric instability
- Rising planetary temperatures
- Ecological overheating
- Weather system disruption
- Global temperature shift
- Planetary imbalance
- Atmospheric warming trend
- Earth system disturbance
- Heat-driven weather extremes
- Long-term planetary warming
- Rising global heat levels
- Ecological destabilization
- Planet-wide heat surge
- Environmental overheating
- Temperature-driven disruption
- Global heat imbalance
- Accelerated warming of Earth
- Planetary-scale weather disruption
I get that this works as long as they’re willing to play by the rules they set. But if it comes down to getting the word out, and silencing science that could save lives, it’s worth trying.
Wouldn’t it be easier to just ban all reports, period? Problem solved.
That’s phase 2 of the republicans plan
Back to global warming?
World-wide uncoldification.
Classic ministry of truth
I remember ten years ago you’d get mocked if you went round calling everything Orwellian, but it’s crazy the sheer degree with which the GOP are using it as a guidebook.
Y’all upset about all this… orbital heating? We really should reduce the amount of gassy leakages from cars and cows.
Too many car farts makes air go hot hot.
It’s odd to me that they even have a banned words list to begin with
The government is owned by billionaires and they ban words that make line go up slower.
Whoever has the biggest bunker wins.
I’m not American but I know American academics and they have told me they are being pulled into meetings and given lists of words they must not use. So much for all the “free speech” whining from Republicans.
Conservatives are, and have always been, about power over others. We kept their more evil nature’s focused externally for a while with cold war, but without an external threat to point them at, they always turn on their neighbors eventually.
“Free speech” for republicans is just “I want to say the worst hateful, racist, bigoted shit out loud without repercussions”
“And punish you for daring to think about ‘policing’ me by calling me out.”
It is, literally, a fascist government. Why is this surprising to anyone?
People who were paying attention warned that they would operate as a fascist government. People still thought it would be cool to vote 3rd party or not vote. Now it’s happening.
Dude I voted for your lady chill out
I’m not sure how they mean it here. But “banned words” aren’t always meaning censorship. In an academic or journalistic sense it can just mean replacing words with more accurate phrasing or more clearly defined words to ensure consistency.
Unfortunately, it’s also used to spin a narrative or outright censor things as well. Like the NYT banning the word “genocide” during an active genocide.
Lol ok
When you ignore a problem, it goes away.
Dark future.
Ah yes Free Speech
Free speech (conservative newspeak): Calling black people the N-word and not receiving any social backlash.
Climate unaliving
Ecological sewer slide
Still can’t believe the government has a banned word list for scientific reports.
They’re just working up to banning science.
They have morons on both sides already eager to do that for them.
Remember when science could be debated? Now we just have to accept everything as fact without question if it supports the correct agenda.
Questioning science gets you banned, lol. It may as well be religion at that point.
If one side of a discussion on facts has data and the other has opinions what is there to debate?
I remember a time when hard data was debatable - it was ten minutes ago. We’re trapped in a timeline where data is disregarded in favour of comfortable lies.
Why address climate change if one can instead engage in mass self-deception.
That’s literally not how science works or has ever worked
“Questioning science” is literally part of the scientific method. Every single scientist is constantly doing it.
Remember when science could be debated? Now we just have to accept everything as fact without question if it supports the correct agenda.
Questioning science gets you banned, lol. It may as well be religion at that point.
Questioning what science gets you banned from what, by whom? Scientists question science all the time. That’s how it progresses. You’d need to give examples to explain what you’re referring to. And can you give an example when we’re expected to simply “accept everything as fact without question”?
Edit: It has been a day. I guess there are no examples coming.
You mean banning
scienceliberal shit talk non facts?(how every conversation starts looking next year)
If that is the case, the reports are not scientific.
Can’t wait until enough people are upset that the guillotines come out.
There are very few things more terrifying than a civil war. Americans jumping straight to wishing for one, ignoring millions of less murdery ways to fix their country never stops creeping me out. You guys are deeply fucked in more ways then one.
Guillotines don’t mean civil war at all. Guillotines mean that the population at large has decided to act. They are deliberate, not something that suddenly stabs someone in the back or shoots them in the head. It takes time to set up. I wouldn’t call them a weapon at all - they are a consequence.
(Partially paraphrasing from a post on another platform a long time ago. Only remember it vaguely.)
What is your best scenario to avoid civil war in the US? Offer a suggestion instead of just complaining. You seem passionate about this so surely you have some suggestions that absolutely should be attempted first
I’d love to legislatively fix all this.
But fascists aren’t known for allowing fair elections.
So I think that ship sailed in November 2024 while a bunch of fucking losers were protest voting or not voting at all.
America was warned. America didn’t listen.
Now we’re doing only what they allow you? And you think it’s easier to kill them all than overplay them in a legal game? So you’ve decided to not even try, and go straight to killing?
Right?! The number of people who stayed home because “Kamila doesn’t support Palestine enough.” was insane. Leave it to us on the left to completely ignore existential problems if we’re given the opportunity to prove to another leftist that they’re not left enough, and only the most extreme left-wing opinions are legitimate.
To clarify: Not American
Soo, how exactly are you planning to fix the shitshow that the states are in rn? A leader heavily leaning to totalitarianism, most of executive power in the hands of his cronies, and you get shit like national guard unlawfully stationed in major cities, while censoring many of new-age issues and executive orders left and right that legalize bribery a remove power in order for him to stay in power.
And don’t fucking say to “just vote”. Apparently it didn’t work so much last time.
Don’t even get me started on trying to educate the people. 8 hours work, 1 hour commute, 8 hours sleep, taking care of kids, house, and you are left with like 4. What are you gonna do? Argue with paid trolls online and absolutely waste energy? Slip into people’s DMs to talk about politics? Make videos that probably 10 people will see, at most?
I mean, yes? The system is designed to keep everyone too exhausted/stress/scared to bother trying to do anything. At this point in the US, if you only have 4 hours of your day to educate yourself on the current situtation, talk to others about it, and do something (even if it seems like just a drop in the ocean), yes, abso-fucking-lutely yes, spend those 4 hours doing that!
4 hours? You and the person above are overestimating how much free time working parents have each day. I’m lucky to get 30 minutes, and I only get that because I’m hiding in the bathroom.
My point is even with only 30 minuntes, yes, when fascism has already taken root those minutes should be spent on fighting back however possible.
Yeah, shit deal. Do you think it will be better if there will be a fucking war? Not “Good guys killed all the bad guys and there is a socialist utopia going on” war, those don’t exist, more like “there is a tank where my living room used to be and all my family died in the last shootout” kind of war.
I lost my country long ago, we had our authoritarian resurgence a decade and a half ago, everyone was too apathetic to do anything, and those who tried got mocked by the likes of you, with their “ah, what are you gonna do, waste time arguing with people?”. America is going the same route very quickly to the same tune.
If you want a broad answer to “what should I do”, well, you aren’t american, so nothing, focus on your country. Americans should do anything. It usually starts with building the community and identifying clear local goals, because you’re correct that one person can do shit, a group of people with a political position however can do something.
are you gonna start us off?
I already killed the billionaire CEO of a health insurance company.
The authorities got the wrong guy so I’m going to keep going.
There’s no point in organizing because that just makes us easier to stop before we begin. Also, there’s a 0% we can trust the people in such an organization because there will always be scumbags and morons eager to support their oppressors.
Can’t believe you cut the other half out
I’ve read it! Or have I? There’s a lot of discussion around it, but I listened to the audiobook, so I’ll let you decide for yourself, but at least I know the full story.
As someone who read the book and is hunting down an original for less than 8 thousand euros, I can safely say that this would definitely be in the book.
8000 euros for a book??☠️💀
First print from 1949, good condition. Pristine condition is 16k 💀
