The Spin
Left narrative
Sunak poorly misread the national mood when he decided not to attend a summit key to international cooperation in the fight against climate change. Even though — amid a state of (Conservative-made) political chaos — the more distant and existential threats seem less significant than today's urgent issues, sometimes tomorrow must take precedence.
Right narrative
The PM has been browbeaten into attending this conference, even though his original decision was justified. The world's largest climate emitters have made it blatantly clear that they're not concerned about green targets. Sunak should be prioritizing the security of public finances over this specious parade.
Metaculus Prediction
There is a 52% chance that China's CO2 emissions will peak before 2030, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
