Comment Re:Not climate 'skeptics' (Score 1) 504

Please stop refering to these people as climate 'skeptics'. They are climate 'deniers' - just like holocaust deniers and round earth deniers.

Your suggestion makes me think of a term I learnt in a media studies class, some time ago: "transfer of values by association". It's a technique often employed in propaganda such as television adverts.

It sounds impressive that "it allows satellites to read English-language technical documents", but it's probably just like SQL or AppleScript; as-in looks and reads a bit like English, but really isn't. The article actually says that it reads "sEnglish", not "English". You could swap the curly braces in C for "Here is the start of a statement." and "This is the end of the previously declared statement." but we wouldn't then consider the modified C compiler able "to read English-language technical documents".
