When it comes to climate change, language does count. In March, the Guardian changed(it) wording – using "global heating" instead of "global warming" , after scientists found that Earth's temperature is set (rise) from between 2.5C and 4.5C. And on May 1, the UK parliament declared a "climate emergency", (become)the first parliament to do so.
If with "global warming", we're still inside our comfort zone of handling the situation, entering the state of "global heating" is like heading to a point the delicate balance of nature is disturbed so much that there is no turning back. Everything will be changing: Coral will die, polar bears will lose their habitats completely, and extreme (weather) like droughts and heavy storms will happen at a higher (frequent). There is no denying that we're entering a climate emergency.
Decades ago when the science on the climate issue was first increasing, the impacts could be seen as an issue for future generations," but now it's (definite) our issue, shift we all are living together.
However, getting these messages is far from enough. It depends on each to find a solution – if there are any solutions left to find. The UK's Labor leader Jeremy urged that "we (take) rapid and dramatic action now".
Indeed, language matters. But action matters even more.
