I have researched many of the Daily Mail articles in the Science and Tech section and found them to be very accurate (I don't read the paper, just some of the scientific articles), though it does tend to simplify. So, I can't vouch for the rest of the paper; it may well be as you describe it.

As an aside, these days I check studies that are cited in newspapers to insure they are fairly presented in the media story and find sources like the NYT and the BBC often misleading.

However, if you are interested in the subject, here is a link to the NASA site.

Karl Marx wrote that the best way to get people to cede more power to government was to create an "existential" threat. The poor can be "bought" with entitlements, but the rest require fear to surrender freedom. I am not suggesting that we need fear communism, only the recent rash of national emergencies cause me to question why they constantly need "emergency powers".

My favorite example is recently Biden declared the Covid pandemic was over. When asked if that meant that his emergency powers could be ended, he started to waffle.

The opportune thing about a climate existential threat is that it will decades to address and as such government will exercise "extreme" powers in the name of the people when in fact, no existential threat exists.
