The US has been criticised over its reluctance to refer to "climate change" at a major Antarctic meeting, with France describing it as a "dangerous precedent" that risks undermining science.

The US did not want to use the term “climate change” at a major Antarctic meeting, instead preferring to focus on “specific” environmental changes.

Its stance was rebuked by other countries, including France, which described it as a “worrying development” that risks undermining credible science.

Conservationists say “editing words” out of a report won’t alter the real impact of climate change.

    Even this article has weasel words. We have moved well past the “scientists say” stage and we are at the “climate change” or “human created climate change” stage.

    I wonder what the Australian government position said, probably wimpish.
