The Spin
Climate-skeptic narrative
Climate change and global warming predictions have a horrific track record. Record-breaking cold is crushing the globe as early winter obliterates autumn across continents. Alberta just shattered 121-year temperature records, China plunged to minus 23 degrees in October, and Russia hit historic gas demand from brutal freezes. Antarctica is now colder than at any time in the past 5,000 years, while predictions of global warming crumble amid real-world data showing a cooling planet.
Climate-concerned narrative
The Paris Agreement is already delivering massive climate benefits by cutting future extreme heat in half. Without this treaty, the world would face 114 scorching days annually by 2100, but current commitments slash that to just 57. Countries like Kenya will avoid 82 fewer brutal heat days each year, while the U.S., India, China and Britain dodge 30 fewer days of dangerous temperatures. A 2.6-degree temperature rise by the end of the century could lead to catastrophic consequences.
