The Once Popular Expression "Global Warming"

I've noticed that this spring here in New England anyway, the once popular expression "global warming" has devolved into disuse. I rather think given the current climate change that has happened, those on board with this very settled science are actually praying for it and secretly hoping for a bit more of a carbon footprint to help things along and thaw the permafrost that keeps even the crocus chilled and regretful they came up so soon.
