Warmed-up newspeak

Instead of grim warnings about global warming, the firm advises, talk about “our deteriorating atmosphere.” Drop discussions of carbon dioxide and bring up “moving away from the dirty fuels of the past.” Don’t confuse people with cap and trade; use terms like “cap and cash back” or “pollution reduction refund.” Aahhh, the beauty of pinko-speak.

There are those who read 1984 as a warning of what was to come.
There are those who read 1984 in the sad hope it had really racy parts fit for a Kaylalover.
There are those who read 1984 as part of their study for a Masters in the Theory and Practice of the Coming Oligarchical Collective.
