1. Isn't he discrediting things if he points to natural disasters and shouts climate change? Is he justified in doing this?
2. Why has the label been changed from global warming to climate change?
3. Is he broadly right?
>When I catch up with him next, he’s in London for a board meeting of his green-focused investment firm,Generation Investment Management, and I ask him to tell me about his recent travels.
>“Two weeks ago, I had three red-eyes in five days. I’ve been in Sweden, the Netherlands, Sharjah, then let’s see, San Francisco, New York, Los Angeles. Where else?” he asks his assistant.
>“Vegas,” she says. “We didCinemaCon.”
>“Vegas, we did that. And then, let’s see, Nashville, on my farm.”
I know there isn't a centralised movement but couldn't they have found a better fucking guy?

I wouldn't say he's discrediting things, though it's not a particularly good example.
>Why has the label been changed from global warming to climate change?
I don't think it has. The two terms have basically always been used (informally) as interchangeable, and that still seems to be the case.
>Is he broadly right?
Taken with the (very large) grain of salt that he's a politician and not a climatologist:
Yes.
>I know there isn't a centralised movement but couldn't they have found a better fucking guy?
Probably not. He's good at PR, good at getting people motivated, and seems to actually care about the subject. Solving AGW could have done a hell of a lot worse, as far as picking a public face goes.

Just stop already.
>2. Why has the label been changed from global warming to climate change?
Global warming is current climate change. That's like asking, why has the label been changed from "Trump" to "the President" when both are currently used interchangeably.
