The Spin

Climate-concerned narrative

President Donald Trump's war on climate science is literally killing Americans while disasters explode to record levels. His administration axed the federal disaster tracking system right as 2025 became the costliest year ever, with $101 billion in damage from 14 separate billion-dollar disasters. While cities burn and families drown, Trump silenced the scientists and gutted FEMA — leaving America defenseless against climate catastrophe.

Climate-skeptic narrative

Climate extremists have destroyed environmental credibility with decades of failed doomsday predictions, cutting American environmentalist identification in half since 1991. Trump's practical approach is working with $100 million in wetland investments and bipartisan conservation initiatives that 95% of Americans support. Real environmental progress comes from expanding energy sources and restoring ecosystems, not radical stunts and baseless climate agreements.
