According to Wikipedia, though, “following Krugman’s column, he declared “peace on the boiled frog front” and said that using the story is fine as long as you point out it’s not literally true.”
Haven’t you seen the latest Newspeak dictionary? “Climate Change” is now an unword too: Czar Holdren says we should henceforth all call it “Global Climate Disruption”. Good idea, I say.
It’s very funny. Out of the frying pan and into the fire…

An excellent point, provided you switch the labels.

An excellent point, provided you say “climate change” since it’s much more than just warming (ocean acidification, spread of infectious diseases etc.)
