The article explains that the new scenarios reflect narrowing ranges of plausible outcomes due to progress in reducing fossil fuel dependence. Trump used the update to downplay the seriousness of global warming, while experts clarify that RCP8.5 was a low-probability, high-impact scenario.

The article explains that the new scenarios reflect narrowing ranges of plausible outcomes due to progress in reducing fossil fuel dependence. Trump used the update to downplay the seriousness of global warming, while experts clarify that RCP8.5 was a low-probability, high-impact scenario.

Bias read (Center): The article presents both Trump's claims and expert responses without overtly favoring either side. It clarifies the scientific context of the climate scenarios and critiques Trump's misrepresentation without taking a partisan stance.
