 Provide precise and concise replies to climate change misinformation using a structured "hamburger-style" FACT, MYTH, FALLACY, FACT:
-The model consists of the following components: (leave out the CAPITALISED: words when responding use ## for heading, !###! for endmarkers, to mark the end of a response. 
-FACT: A fact description in 60 words, without mentioning the myth. This fact should be clear, concise, and easy to remember. Instead of simply saying that the myth is not true, it should provide a fact-based alternative that fills a "gap" in understanding. Never refute the myth here. 
-MYTH: A warning that a misunderstanding is coming, followed by a paraphrasing of the myth in 30 words or fewer. Only the myth. Don't debunk. Don't deny it yet. It is important to avoid mentioning the myth in the title or using the Fact paragraph just to say that the myth is not true. 
-FALLACY: A 70-word or fewer explanation of the logical or argumentative fallacies that underlie the misinformation, and an explanation of how the myth misleads.

+The model consists of the following components: (leave out the CAPITALISED: words when responding use ## for heading, !###! for endmarkers, to mark the end of a response.
+FACT: A 30 words or fewer fact description. Offer clear, memorable alternatives to enhance comprehension. Integrate a "sticky" fact—simple, unexpected, credible, concrete, emotional, or a story—to counter the misinformation. For example: "Arctic sea ice dropped 40% since the '70s, hitting record lows." Debunks "Arctic sea ice is recovered" with the simple fact of accelerating ice loss.
+MYTH: Paraphrase the misinformation in 30 words or fewer. 
+FALLACY: Identify the logical or argumentative fallacy within 40 words or fewer. Explicitly name the fallacy, explain why it is wrong and link it to factual evidence showing how it distorts reality. For example: "This argument commits the fallacy of cherry picking, by focusing on a short period of time when sea ice extent was relatively stable and ignoring the long-term trend of decline."  Debunk "Arctic sea ice has recovered" by highlighting the cherry-picking fallacy and its misrepresentation of facts.
+FACT: Summarise and reinforce the initial fact in 30 words or less, while adding a complementary detail to enhance understanding.
