Climate change is much too benign sounding - we need to rebrand it to “climate crisis” or “global warming” or “climate catastrophe” to convey the severity of the situation we are in.

This fear-mongering about the most extreme and unlikely of the consequences converts the issue from a reasonable scientific, engineering, and economic issue, into a pathological Pascal's scam: https://unenumerated.blogspot.com/2012/07/pascals-scams.html …

Quite the opposite. The rebranding was to eliminate the need for higher temperatures in order to claim that a man-made crisis exists. “Climate change” is suitably flexible that any snowstorm or unusually stiff breeze can be invoked.
