It was a lot of words to say “perception is more important than reality”, and delivered in an oblique way hinting at some unstated “narrative” going on, without either explicitly making that point or providing evidence. Kind of the HN equivalent of the angsty teen who will only say “that’s what YOU think” to everyone.

People are convinced of things via narrative. Both good and bad things. It’s not an oblique criticism of climate change. It’s a comment on why narratives don’t tend to be objective.
