The verbiage tends to make one blanch a little when reading. In the posted thread, for example, the phrase:

declares that x, y and z will occur, whereas the document at stopesso.com says:

Quote:

I absolutely concur that global warming is a major issue, and it needs to be dealt with, but resorting to scare tactics and effectively, 'changing the might's to will's' isn't the best way to do it.
