The Spin


Narrative A

Despite grand pledges from governments to reduce carbon emissions, the Earth is still heating up at a faster rate than ever before. Even as the leader in this global fight, the United States' climate budget is running out of money. If we wish to save ourselves from this lethal heat and its resulting natural disasters, we must exponentially increase our efforts to stop emitting CO2 into the atmosphere.


Narrative B

While climate change is an urgent issue, journalists and activists have an obligation to separate the facts from fiction and describe environmental problems honestly and accurately. The catastrophic framing of climate change does far more harm than good, not only by impacting the mental health of our youth but by alienating and polarizing large portions of the population and distracting from other important issues. Climate alarmism must be taken with a grain of salt.
