Global Climate Disruption

Global climate disruption is a term used as an alternative to "global warming." Global climate disruption is a terminology change urged by the Obama administration to replace global warming, and was first used by White House science adviser John Holdren in a 2007 presentation and again in September, 2010.^[1] Holdren's "global climate disruption" isn't the most convoluted term to grace the climate debate, however. According to a Fox News report, NASA published studies on the impact humans had on global climate and referred to the relationship as "inadvertent climate modification."^[2]
