"Climate emergency" or "climate change"?
Listen to @DoctorVive masterfully debate @bobbymagill, president of @sejorg, on which term journalists should use.
Given the *facts* of our rapidly warming climate, how can we not be in a crisis/

Hearing
@bobbymagill's arguing for so-called "neutrality" I immediately thought of@jayrosen_nyu's "View from Nowhere" criticism of journalism. Neutrality is a myth. Journalists' aim should instead be truth-telling. 2/1 reply 0 retweets 2 likesShow this thread -

@bobbymagill since when does accurately describing reality, "smack of activism?" You spoke as if you'd "never heard of the abuse of neutrality that puts the journalist on the wrong side of truth telling." (quote from@jayrosen_nyu) 3/1 reply 0 retweets 2 likesShow this thread -
Serious question,
@bobbymagill: When *would* you call it a#ClimateEmergency? We're headed toward catastrophic, irreversible warming. Optimistic warnings... IPCC: 100s of millions of lives threatened. Global investors: financial crisis almost 4 times that of 2008's crisis. 4/1 reply 0 retweets 2 likesShow this thread

Given what's at stake, given the urgency... that @DoctorVive and @bobbymagill were even debating "Climate Change" vs "Climate Emergency" struck me as absurd.
