The Spin

Narrative A

Climate change is not a problem for the future, it's a current reality costing the world trillions of dollars. World leaders at COP29 must recognize that financing climate action in the developing world is not an act of generosity — it's a huge step toward making sure all nations are prepared for the worst. Every dollar invested in a more resilient global economy will benefit everyone.

Guardian

Narrative B

Conferences like COP29 must be contextualized within the UN's rampant climate alarmism. Whether it's sporadically rising temperatures, brimming oceans, or tumbling glaciers, UN climate tropes are frequently debunked with more nuanced analysis. The UN's policies have also had negative impacts on countries' agriculture, which shows the global body only cares about power, not progress.
