US rebuked over 'climate change' controversy at Antarctic meeting
The US did not want to use the term "climate change" at a major Antarctic meeting, instead preferring to focus on "specific" environmental changes.
Its stance was rebuked by other countries, including France, which described it as a "worrying development" that risks undermining credible science.
Conservationists say "editing words" out of a report won't alter the real impact of climate change.

They should send the US envoy home with a bag of seeds each time.
To be fair, they did use a Sharpie to change the weather pattern once 🙄
Hopefully US will just get offended and stop participating. Until now every time they did it allowed sane countries to move things forward.
Even this article has weasel words. We have moved well past the “scientists say” stage and we are at the “climate change” or “human created climate change” stage.
I wonder what the Australian government position said, probably wimpish.
At some point they should just be barred from speaking at all
What is this, 2012?
