Global Weirding

Is it Time to Rename Global Warming? The Case for 'Global Weirding'
I prefer the term "global weirding," because that is what actually happens as global temperatures rise and the climate changes. The weather gets weird. The hots are expected to get hotter, the wets wetter, the dries drier and the most violent storms more numerous.
The fact that it has snowed like crazy in Washington -- while it has rained at the Winter Olympics in Canada, while Australia is having a record 13-year drought -- is right in line with what every major study on climate change predicts: The weather will get weird; some areas will get more precipitation than ever; others will become drier than ever.

Sure there are arguments against the name since it...
... carries the connotation of "related to the supernatural"
But it really does paint a true picture. And how can Beck rail against Global Wierding?
