"Global Warming" v. "Climate Change"

The Golden Rules:

  1. This is not the place to question the legitimacy of climate science or climate change, or concern trolling. Doing so will earn you an immediate ban.
  2. This is not the place to argue the merits of left v. right politics. This will earn you a warning the first time, and a ban the second time.

Rules:

1. Submission guidelines:

  • Submissions should be primarily news, developments and science on climate change.
  • Self posts must contribute positively to /r/aftertheflood, and foster constructive/reasonable discussion.
  • Submissions relating to politics/policies must be sufficiently related to climate change, in that they either relate to a policy affecting climate change contributions, or analyse the repercussions of the policy (or a trend of policies) from the context of climate change.
Do not submit the following:
  1. Posts that do not meet the submission guidelines.
  2. Images with no context, or purely audio links. Articles with supporting imagery, audio and/or video content are allowed.
  3. Requests for an explanation of the basics of climate change. If you'd like to learn about it, consider watching An Inconvenient Truth and Before The Flood.
  4. Mobile versions of sites, url shorteners: please directly submit the desktop version of a webpage in all cases.

2. Behaviour

Remember that you are speaking to other human beings! Be courteous.

  • Be aware of, and observe, reddiquette.
  • Personal attacks, abusive behaviour and trolling are not allowed, and will be removed.
  • This is a forum for serious discussion, memes are not allowed and will be removed.

3. Titles

Submissions must use either the article's title, or a suitable quote, either of which must:

  • adequately describe the content
  • adequately describe the content's relation to climate change
  • be free of user editorialization or alteration of meaning.

All reddit-wide rules apply here.
