NEW HAVEN After a report from the Yale Center on Climate Change Communication showed that the term climate change elicits relatively little concern from the American public, leading scientists are recommending replacing it with a new term: You will be burnt to a crisp and die.
Other terms under consideration by the scientists include your cities will be ravaged by tsunamis and floods and earth will be a fiery hellhole incapable of supporting human life.
Scientists were generally supportive of the suggestions, with many favoring the term your future will involve rowing a boat down a river of rotting corpses.
Any of these terms would do a better job conveying the urgency of the problem, Tracy Klugian, a spokesperson for the newly renamed Yale Center for Oh My God Wake Up You Assholes, said.
