Environment officials in NI do not accept the terminology "climate crisis" or "climate emergency", the environment minister has said.
Edwin Poots said "officials in my department do not believe that is the appropriate language".
Sinn Féin's Philip McGuigan called on Mr Poots to explain his remarks.
Earlier this week, Mr Poots said introducing legislation in the next three months to tackle climate change is an "impossible" timeframe.
Speaking on BBC Talkback, Mr Poots said: "That [language] is something my department do not accept, so leaving myself to the one side, the officials in my department do not believe that is the appropriate language, there is a course of work to be done."
The Department of the Environment has been approached for comment.

Considering he is a bible thumping young earth creationist i doubt he wants to acknowledge it at all. Especially when he is also accused of blocking climate change legislation whilst being in office.

Ah, Northern Ireland. Just because Westminster is moving into your traditional "comedy spinoff of British politics" territory doesn't mean you need to go further that way to stay relevant.

Three teenagers have been convicted of the manslaughter of PC Andrew Harper, who died after being dragged along a road by a car.
Following their convictions, it can now be revealed jurors in the trial had to be given special protection after police received intelligence (that) associates of the killers had planned to intimidate them.
Towards the end of the second trial, on 17 July, a juror was seen by a prison officer mouthing "goodbye boys" to three defendants as she left the courtroom.
Mr Justice Edis discharged her, saying her "surprising conduct" could be seen as a "display of partiality towards these defendants".

Heh. I didn't realise anyone still believed any of the strands of British Israelism - outside of the Christian Identity movement in the US.
