The Spin

Pro-establishment narrative

Record carbon emissions demand immediate action towards renewable energy, which recently reached a historic milestone by producing more electricity than coal globally. China leads this transition by exporting $120 billion in green technology compared to America's $80 billion in fossil fuel exports. The clean energy revolution is accelerating faster than predicted, offering hope despite climate tipping points.

Establishment-critical narrative

China's dominance in clean energy manufacturing is a calculated geopolitical strategy disguised as climate action. Beijing controls over 80% of global solar production and battery supply chains while simultaneously approving more coal plants than ever before. This isn't environmental stewardship — it's economic warfare designed to create global dependence on Chinese infrastructure and standards.

Climate-skeptic narrative

The so-called "climate crisis" is built on exaggerated models and failed predictions. Earth's temperature today is well within natural historical ranges, and CO₂ levels are lower than they have been for most of the past 600 million years. Despite dire forecasts, polar ice, sea levels and storms show no catastrophic trends. Climate alarmism, not science, drives globalist policy and economic manipulation.
