Today’s “Word of the Day” is peddle and it is a verb meaning “to suggest, recommend, promote, present, put forward, advocate, champion (an idea/view) persistently to make people to accept/believe it”.
Example Sentence: So, if you hear a politician talking about “getting back to normal”, remember that while this is comforting they are peddling a dangerous idea we are hardwired (innately determined) to accept. And if we keep accepting it as a plausible (believable) goal in the area of climate crisis, we will end up further away than ever from where we really need to be.
This word is present in The Guardian article There is no ‘getting back to normal’ with climate breakdown and click here to read it.
