The Argument
Climate change is a large scale hoax intended to mislead the public. Scientists, acting either willingly or unwillingly under the government, are faking their findings of changes to the Earth's environment. Scientists who find data to suggest against global warming or who express doubts about it are suppressed out of the peer-review process. The scientists who are able to publish their findings have their data manipulated to cultivate the climate change image. Scientists are pressured by the media and government to exaggerate and scare the public in order to receive a reaction.[1]
The governments of the world support this facade of climate change and use it as an instrument to exert power over the citizens of the world. People should not fall for the hoax of climate change because it was a conspiracy created by the government.[2]
