    It’s ultimately good news, but the framing is bizarre.

    Who criticises global warming? Well, people like us, and pope Leo. As opposed to people who’d rather criticise us and claim that global warming is no biggie (or even not happening).

    Similarly, who minimises climate change? Well, people who are actually doing something about it. People who are switching away from burning fossil fuels and taking other steps to minimise the impact of not only themselves, but others, by working in fields like renewable energy, transit, heat pumps, etc.

    Even the other framing of “minimising the impact of climate change” means working with adaptation strategies.

    I can only assume the framing is so weird because of choices the BBC made.
