The Spin

Narrative A

Human-induced global warming and the alarming rise in sea levels that it is causing threaten the very existence of Pacific island nations. The world's inaction on climate change has left Pacific islanders uniquely vulnerable, with 90% living near coasts now at risk of flooding and devastation. However, this crisis of entirely our own making will consume not just the Pacific, but ourselves.

Guardian

Narrative B

Climate alarmists deliberately exaggerate threats to maintain funding and relevance. Despite historical data showing no significant increase in the frequency or intensity of such disasters. They continue to issue dire predictions, often linking them to human-caused climate change. Creating panic about rising sea levels and extreme weather events is an exercise in self-preservation, exploiting public fears to secure their futures.
