global cooling

Recorded temperature decreases in the 1950-70s as a result of man-made aerosol and sulfer emissions after WWII. Slowed due to air pollution laws that limited their emissions in the 80s and 90s, but also because of warming effect of CO2 (emitted at the same time) which takes longer to kick in.
Now that we have reduced SO2 emissions, but a lot more CO2 emissions, the global cooling is over-run by global warming.

GPS (Global Positioning Steven)

Named for an annoying wannabe kid who never gets invited to go places, but always seems to show up anyway. Because he can find his "friends" anywhere, even if they go to great lengths to exclude him or go places that they think he'll never find them, he is thought to have an extrasensory advantage in locating others.
"So I went to the mall with Joe the other day and Nick showed up. It was like he was waiting for us!"
"Yeah, he does that all the time. He's got GPS."

global warming denier

Deniers are phsychologically flawed individuals who actively deny the mainstream scientific viewpoint that the earth is warming due to the release of CO2 by the burning of fossil fuels. While 97% of climate scientists are in agreement and the evidence collected by use of the scientific method is indisputable, these people deny the reality through
confirmation bias reinforced by well funded oil company propaganda and disinformation. Social dominance orientation, system justification, and identity protective cognition define the denier. These are character traits that reinforce white male hegemony over the environment and reinforce social hierarchies, and are common in a strict father worldview where the children never learn to think for themselves. The pedagogy of the strict father is belief over facts, with a powerful “head” of the family, much like in a dictatorship where there is only one leader in charge. Denialism is also closely linked to hate groups, Golf, Nascar, country music, religious zealots, and much of middle America who have been brainwashed by AM radio, essentially using our public airwaves for free, to protect the profits of companies whose pollution could potentially end most of humankind. And the pope agrees.
