    I’m not questioning how real anthropogenic global climate change is. I’m questioning your decision of using just the initials assuming everyone understand automatically.

    When I googled “AGCC meaning” the suggestions were:

    AGenesis of the Corpus Callosum
    Alderney Gambling Control Commission
    Arab Gulf Cooperation Council
    Aberdeen & Grampian Chamber of Commerce Action for a Global Climate Community
    Agencia Comercial Spirits ltd (AGCC)

      I didn’t assume. People are going to understand and misunderstand terms no matter what acronym or definition is used, like CC or GCC. Or they’ll deny, get it twisted, whatever. Or ask a curious followup, as you did.

      When I googled “AGCC meaning” the suggestions were:

      Well, context is king. If you asked what it meant within that sentence, then it might be able to narrow things down better. We all do this all the time, of course.

          For the reader, I would think mostly “yes.”

          For the writer, I recall him being focused moreso on the main thought he wanted to express. And his thoughts have been pretty scattered indeed these days, focus harder to come by…

          Anyway, I think that’s enough of all that. Ciao!
