Global cooling

Paleontologists have found the fossils of an ancient migratory sea turtle in the high arctic. It indicates an earth much warmer than it is now. I'm not very surprised. It was an ocean after all. Turtles live in water. Makes it easy to swim. No heat makes cold. Cold makes ice. Makes it hard to swim.

I think you'd be a lot safer if you referred to 'climate change', rather than 'global warming' or in your case, 'global cooling'.

Think about it! You're kind of locked in to a certain type of change with global warming or cooling but you can't go too far wrong with climate change.

It's sort of like weather forecasting. If you say there's a ten percent chance of rain and it rains, you were right. If it doesn't rain, you were still right. Weather forecasters have been using that scam since before I was born.

Besides, 'climate change' is a lot more accurate. Whatever is happening, some places will be warmer and some places will be cooler, some places will be wetter and some places will be dryer. It's all climate and it's all change.
