Read the original article on independent.co.uk (opens in a new tab)The Independent runs an Associated Press report on the opening of formal talks at COP31 in Turkey, with past summit outcomes, the 1.5C goal, the Iran war's effect on fuel prices and the absence of the United States. It names fossil fuels as the leading cause of climate change and links the year's floods and heat waves to warming. Nothing in it misleads the reader.
“the leading contributor to climate change”
The report states in its own voice, without a hedge, that fossil fuels are the main cause of climate change.
“after a year of deadly floods, heat waves and other climate-related disasters”
The report ties the year's deadly extreme weather to climate change, so the reader knows what the talks are responding to.
“who has called climate change a hoax, has targeted offshore wind projects and removed rules limiting power plant emissions”
The report attributes the hoax claim to Trump as his own words and sets it beside his concrete actions against climate policy, without treating the claim as a view to be weighed.
