The actual title on the article is "Climate change not as threatening to planet as previously thought, new research suggests" why do we need ALLCAPS clickbait histrionics?

Here's a line from the article which suggests that the evidence is changing due to greater than expected efforts. "Another reason the climate outlook is less bleak than previously thought is stabilising emissions, particularly in China."

Which isn't to say WRONG but in fact to say 'indications of positive progress'

Here's another part that presents a wildly optimistic scenario which indicates we have a lower chance than Hillary Clinton had in the 2016 election "it suggests that if polluting peaks and then declines to below current levels before 2030 and then continue to drop more sharply, there is a 66 per cent chance of global average temperatures staying below 1.5 degrees." and we all know how it turned out for Hillary.
