The phrase "climate change" is traced back to 1990s Republican focus groups led by Newt Gingrich, who sought a less threatening term than "global warming." A series of interviews with children aged 9 to 15 reveals deep-seated fears about melting glaciers, animal habitat loss, and the potential for human extinction. The children call on adults and governments to take immediate action rather than "sitting back."
