| 1912 | carbon | "carbon cycle' (1912) "carbon footprint" 2001 | Assoc: " fossil fuels" i.e fossilized biomass - coal, mineral oil and gas; carbon is pollution |
| 1991 | carbon neutrality | "emitting no carbon dioxide into the atmosphere" | Assoc: " fossil fuels" i.e fossilized biomass - coal, mineral oil and gas; carbon is pollution |
| c1995 | low carbon economy zero carbon economy decarbonized economy | "emitting no carbon dioxide or thermal equivalent into the atmosphere" | Assoc: " fossil fuels" i.e fossilized biomass - coal, mineral oil and gas; carbon is pollution |
| 1900 > | change | "a different situation" | Assoc: more with situation and less with action |
| 1983 | climate change | "global warming" (1983) | Assoc: confusion of (1) warming v warming-up and (2) changes of climate v man-made changes of climate |
| 1970s? | conserve | "care of" > "use less of" (1970s?) | Assoc: more with deprivation and less with stewardship |
| 1922 | conservation | "specifically of the environment" (1922) | Assoc: more with care of ecology and less with universal civics. |
| 1900 > | conservative | "political tradition", often contrasted with "labour, "progressives" | Assoc: more with personal political affiliation and less with conserving vital minerals and resources. |
| 1900 > | cool | "to cause to lose warmth" | Assoc: confusion of cooling and cooling down. |
| 1900 > | down | "towards or in a lower place or position", "to or at a lower level of intensity, volume, or activity" | Assoc: lessening. decreasing |
| 1950s > | economist | expert in diseconomy | Assoc: expert in systems based in planned obsolescence: no assoc. now with person who lives frugally |
| economy | "wealth and resources of a country" and "cheaper" > "bigger and thus cheaper per unit or amount" (1950) > system of planned obsolesence (1950s) | assoc: less with stewardship and more with exchange system founded in planned waste | |

| 1980 (German) | “Energiewende” | "energy transition", "alternative energy", "renewable energy" | Assoc: Bulk-generated electrical products (by reactive response to nuclear and coal use in particular) |
| Early 1990s | Energy Conscious Age | awareness of "energy bills", "energy sector" "energy corporations" "energy industry" "energy markets", "energy utilities" etc | Assoc: energy = Bulk-generated electrical products and combustion of fossilized biomass |
| 1900> | environment | " "the aggregate of the conditions in which a person or thing lives" > ecology (1956) | Assoc: that which is distinct from human beings. |
| 1850s > (date not known) | form | "systematic or orderly arrangement" > "forms of energy e.g. thermal, electrical, kinetic, potential etc." | Assoc: confusion of form with perspectves; associated with a few things rather than myriad things |
