I think you are reading too much into it.

The letter doesn't say the words "climate change" but that's clearly what they are talking about. Instead, they do mention "global warming" which is part of what is referenced by "environmental crisis".

I don't think "global warming" is more or less politicized than the phrase "climate change". Maybe because "global warming" is slightly antiquated, it's less likely to produce knee jerk reactions?

I agree that the letter is trying its best to be politically inclusive, and I appreciate it.

From what I heard it was the polluters who pushed us from "global warming" to "climate change" as the second is less emotive and less likely to be linked to them by people (especially after they paid so much for people to obscure things).
