The Guardian Adopts Stronger Language for Environmental Issues
《卫报》在环境问题上采取更为强硬的措辞
The Guardian, a prominent British daily newspaper, is encouraging its reporters to use stronger language to describe environmental issues. The Guardian’s in-house style guide now recommends using “climate crisis” or “climate emergency” over “climate change”. It also recommends using “global heating” instead of “global warming”. Katharine Viner, the Guardian’s editor-in-chief, stressed that the newspaper is committed to using language that is “scientifically precise”. In a related report about the US this week, the Guardian noted that “Democrats rated global heating as the third most important issue on their list, while Republican voters ranked it last.”
英国著名的日报《卫报》鼓励其记者使用更为强烈的语言来描述环境问题。《卫报》的内部风格指南现在建议使用“气候危机”或“气候紧急情况”而不是“气候变化”。该指南还建议使用“全球加热”而不是“全球变暖”。《卫报》总编凯瑟琳·维纳强调,该报致力于使用“科学准确”的语言。本周,在一份关于美国的相关报道中,《卫报》指出,“民主党人将全球加热列为他们最关心的第三大问题,而共和党选民则将其排在最后。”
