The Spin
Narrative A
This study is an important first step in quantifying the very real and catastrophic threat to humans posed by climate change. The world must start preparing for worst case scenarios and these must be thoroughly researched by scientists so we can all better understand what we may be dealing with.
Narrative B
While an important issue, claims about global warming are often grossly exaggerated. The apocalyptic rhetoric of "climate catastrophe" may do more harm than good by alienating people on both sides and distracting from more pressing issues.
Metaculus Prediction
There's a 23% chance that there will be 3.6°C of global warming by 2100 according to the Metaculus prediction community.
