The Spin


Narrative A

The UN is a world leader and strategist of climate alarmism. The body has made terrifying the public a performative art form. What UN agencies have failed to realize is that putting the fear of misery and death into people doesn't spur action. If the UN truly wants to garner support and deliver it will need to dial down the extremist language and provide factual, relevant, and digestible goals and paths forward.


Narrative B

There have been warnings for decades about how badly a changing climate could impact our way of life. Big Oil has known for years but instead of taking responsibility and acting, they embarked on marketing adventures and misinformation campaigns to boost their bottom line. If the investments in renewable energy sources were as coordinated and effective the change in the planet's sustainability would be remarkable.
