Climate 'Armageddon narrative' starting to unravel | Newsmaker

This week’s Newsmaker features physicist Steve Koonin, author of Unsettled, who argues that the "climate change Armageddon narrative" is starting to unravel, as people increasingly question the claims of an existential crisis. He discusses the growing energy needs of the developing world and AI, the marginalization of dissenting voices in academia, the historical inaccuracy of apocalyptic climate predictions, and the tendency of journalists and policymakers to rely on simplified, "spun" summaries of the climate science instead of the detailed, nuanced data.
