I remember long debates on whether "Climate Shock" as book title would come across as catastrophizing.
10 years later, it's an above-the-fold NYT headline.

Scientific publishing is dead. It just doesn't know it yet. But what comes next?
"Runctitiononal features"? "Medical fymblal"? "1 Tol Line storee"? This gets worse the longer you look at it. But it's got to be good, because it was published in Nature Scientific Reports last week: www.nature.com/articles/s41... h/t @asa.tsbalans.se
