New Names

Ever noticed how they like to invent new names for old things so they can claim they’re a new idea.

Take driverless cars, 40 years ago we just used to say “Forgot to put the handbrake on.”

#NewNames

We need new names for our multiple crises.

I'm open for suggestions for a new name for
'El Niño'
now the hot waterstream is not limited to the Pacific
as the Arctic is also 'playing along'.

How about 'L'Abuela' 😁

Beware: this is not an easy one!
