    The Spin

    Narrative A

    What happens in the Arctic doesn't stay in the Arctic. The region is experiencing climate stress faster than anyone could have imagined. We need to not only curb emissions immediately but reverse the ecological damage we've already inflicted if we want to protect our planet and its fragile ecosystem.

    Narrative B

    Don't buy the latest alarmism. Climate doomsayers and mainstream media fail to give fair coverage to data that shows the positive impacts of a healthy and changing climate. For example, increased emissions have acted as fertilizer and created a "global greening" effect on parts of the planet an area two times the size of the US. Only the shocking headlines grab the media's attention.
