The Spin

Narrative A

Pakistan is going to be one of the nations that bear the brunt of climate change, and immediate international intervention is needed to avert a climate disaster. Wealthier nations need to step in to contribute financial aid to help Pakistan mitigate the effects of climate change, and the government of Pakistan needs to take the climate threat seriously. The human toll of inaction will be unprecedented.

Amnesty International

Narrative B

The greatest predictor of vulnerability to climate change is poverty, and climate activists and their anti-growth agenda will make countries like Pakistan less prepared to handle climate disasters. Climate reparations would incentivize these nations to not develop by adopting low-carbon policies, hurting their economic growth. It would be unconscionable to deny Pakistan access to the global middle class by forcing a Western climate agenda on them.
