The Spin

Narrative A

The G7 countries, which account for 25% of the world's carbon emissions and almost 40% of the global economy, have a responsibility to properly address the increasingly catastrophic impact of the climate crisis. There needs to be a push for legally binding targets to ensure they're met and hold these countries accountable.

Narrative B

While addressing global warming is important, equally as paramount is setting realistic goals. Unfortunately, the 2015 Paris Agreement doesn't do this. Reaching the targets outlined in the climate agreement would require technology that doesn't even exist yet; it's no wonder G7 countries are failing to meet the objectives.
