Rest is Politics Leading recently had an interview with Frank Luntz who, as well as rebranding “global warming” as “climate change”, rebranded “gambling” to “gaming”. A really eye opening interview https://open.spotify.com/episode/5sSaRKxclEFwz80cH2FwJu?si=N...

Is climate change a sinister rebranding?

Global warming suffers from "but it rained yesterday" and other misleading small scale variations making people disbelieve.

"More fires, more hurricanes: Climate change" then rebrands it as scary: need to take seriously.

The term "climate change" was used in research even back in the 50s. It isn't some new invention.

Not doubting your Mr. Luntz's influence but it turns out gaming is an old term for gambling which still causes legal nightmares for anyone in my area trying to serve alcohol at a video game themed location. Ancient laws ban gaming and alcohol to be co-located.

Isn't that video sport?

Sports and alcohol seem to have a long history together.
