The Spin

Climate-concerned narrative

These tragic deaths underscore the urgent need for enhanced storm preparedness and improved investment in infrastructure. Climate change is making severe weather events more frequent and deadly, yet communities lack adequate resources for emergency response and power grid resilience. The cancellation of the Fourth of July celebrations highlights how extreme weather is increasingly disrupting American traditions and economic activity.

Climate-skeptic narrative

Climate alarmism — including incorrectly attributing severe weather events to "catastrophic" climate change — can have negative psychological impacts. Moreover, Americans just aren't buying climate domerism as much anymore. Americans tend to support responsible environmental policies that aren't tied to a radical sweeping agenda, and it's important to address storm readiness in a responsible manner.
