Climatia in Nature

August 4th, 2008

It’s true. Climatia, the word coined by TWiS’ own Justin Jackson, has been used by one of the most prestigious science journals in the world. Sure, it’s in the art accompanying an article, and it’s not really being used properly in the art, but it’s in there. Climatia has hit the big time.

We interviewed one of the authors, Gavin Schmidt, a year ago in the spring. So, it is possible that he was inoculated with the word at that time. I just have to wonder whether the artist, Mark Roberts, listens to TWiS. I’m guessing that he might.

    Climatia, when Justin fist coined the word–I knew it would stick. At first I thought it was stupid, but than I started using it myself.

    Although it’s been used there in a slightly different way, isn’t it?
