Should media use alarmist language when talking about global warming?

The Guardian has updated their style manual:

Instead of “climate change” the preferred terms are “climate emergency, crisis or breakdown” and “global heating” is favoured over “global warming”....

    They can use what they like. Is there any imminent emergency?

    Dirac's Van: A Poem of Perversion

    Dirac stocks up

    On plenty of candy

    For luring the kids

    It sure is handy

    But he got busted

    During Trick or Treat

    Luring every kid

    With every sweet

    Dirac was now

    In quite a pickle

    He said with a sigh

    Those kids are fickle!

    But Dirac escaped

    And ran from the law

    He went back home

    Moved in with his ma

    She gave him her car

    He called it his own

    He'd lure more kids

    Away from his home

    Dirac then called

    Kids from his car

    Lured them in

    With a candy bar

    But the car had windows

    Dirac couldn't hide

    He knew he had to get

    A new kind of ride

    So he went down the street

    And stole a large van

    He'd now be discreet

    This Candy Man

    But the parents then asked

    Who's that man?

    Giving kids candy

    From the back of his van

    And the kids smarter than Dirac

    They foiled his plan

    When the perv opened his door

    They all took off and ran

    Dirac at all of his candy

    Emitting plenty of gas

    Cause you just can't win

    With your thumb up your asss
