Frequency of “climate crisis”, “climate change”, “global warming”, and “greenhouse effect”, 1970–2019 (Google Ngram, English literature)Comments: The top graph is a Google Ngram that traces the relative frequency of “climate change”, “global warming”, “greenhouse effect”, and “climate crisis” from 1970 to 2019, showing rise of “climate change” to a dominant position during the run-up to Copenhagen climate summit 2009. The bottom graph is a Google Ngram that details the frequency of “climate crisis” (on a different scale) over the same period, showing first a rise towards 2009, then a decline before virtually exponential growth towards the end. Both graphs also show a similarity with media attention over time (see also Figure 1).Source: see Google, n.d.
