Do you speak Crisis-Speak?

What can we do to change the minds of decision makers and people in general to actually do something about preparing for the forthcoming economic/energy crises (the ones after this one!)?

Do you speak Crisis-Speak?

Post by RenewableCandy »

From the Russian Times!
Humourous Russians wrote:An Australian governmental panel says the word “drought” sounds too depressing to farmers. “Dryness” is a term with a less negative connotation...

The Orwellian idea of changing the language in which people talk to change the way they think has found worldwide recognition.

RT fully sympathises with people who have found themselves on the low side because of things beyond their control in Australia and elsewhere, and presents you the crisis-speak – your brave new way to find the brighter side of a problem.
Soyez réaliste. Demandez l'impossible.
