There are lots of terms they can still use to get the point across:
“warming ocean”
“expanding ocean” (for sea level rise)
“changes in rainfall patterns”
“increases in heavy rains”
“blah blah worse drought”
This passage from David Wallace-Wells’ The Uninhabitable Earth (2017) struck me:
Over the last few years, as the planet’s own environmental rhythms have seemed to grow more fatalistic, skeptics have found themselves arguing not that climate change isn’t happening, since extreme weather has made that undeniable, but that its causes are unclear—suggesting that the changes we are seeing are the result of natural cycles rather than human activities and interventions. It is a very strange argument; if the planet is warming at a terrifying pace and on a horrifying scale, it should transparently concern us more, rather than less, that the warming is beyond our control, possibly even our comprehension.

Can’t they just put a warning, “may contain trigger words”? Could trigger Climate Derangement Syndrome, CDS
