The Spin

Narrative A

Climate change, even warming lesser than the seemingly limited 1.5°C rise in global temperatures, would pose a catastrophic threat to human and animal species, as it would cause increased famines and wide-scale wildlife and ecosystem destruction. As we are likely to meet that threshold sooner than predicted, governments must prioritize the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions over the ongoing investment in fossil fuels for the sake of protecting our future.

Futurism

Narrative B

Climate change is a concern, but scientists and activists focus far too often on parroting doomsday predictions and emphasizing the worst-case scenarios of global warming. Climate alarmism is counterproductive, and overshadows the mid-range scenarios that are more likely to be caused by climate change and deserve more scientific attention.
