The Spin
Narrative A
Despite the international agreement signed in Paris eight years ago, the world is still far from meeting its targets of slowing global warming. Droughts, fires, melting ice caps, and other natural disasters are becoming more frequent. COP28 must now be placed front and centre, with the priority of getting our planet back on track. The Earth still has a chance — it is up to the government's of each country to listen to the demands of their people.
Narrative B
Climate and environmental disasters have been predicted by modern-day doomsayers for decades. None of the apocalyptic predictions have come true so far; why would this time be any different? This type of apocalyptic rhetoric paralyzes people and does more harm than good.
