DISINFO: Climate change is a hoax invented by capitalists to reduce people’s freedoms
SUMMARY
Global warming due to increasing greenhouse gas emissions is not really happening. People may feel that the environment is warmer because they live in cities with warmer micro-climates, rather than the countryside. Moreover, they are influenced by climate change propaganda.
The IPCC reports are politically oriented and constantly contradicted by the facts. The objective of this global warming myth is to compel people to live in cities, consume insects and artificial food and switch to electric transportation so that new plants are built.
Carbon dioxide is needed by vegetation and more carbon emissions mean better condition for plants. Africa needs more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to fight against desertification.
RESPONSE
This is a clear example of climate change denial, based on conspiracy theory around global climate change.
The global climate change is an established fact and not a major conspiracy to sell renewable energies and other solutions. There is plenty of evidence that climate change is real. On the contrary, there is no credible evidence to support the claim that the scientific consensus on climate change, based on decades of research, would only emerge with the aim to favour some clandestine financial interests.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is the United Nations body for assessing the science related to climate change. It analyses tens of thousands of scientific studies with the conclusions since 1995 that "The balance of evidence suggests a discernible human influence on global climate."
The claim that more carbon dioxide emissions are better for global vegetation is also misleading. While it contains a kernel of truth that plants consume carbon dioxide, it is not necessarily true that plants would grow better with more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Climate change introduces other factors that might negatively affect plant growth, such as drought, floods, inconsistent weather patterns, all of which might mitigate any positive effect of more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. In fact, some research suggests, that at higher concentrations, carbon dioxide might even be a damaging pollutant, particularity for food crops. Hence the claim that more carbon dioxide helps fight desertification is also misleading. In fact, climate change actually exacerbates desertification, not helps preventing it.
Preventing dangerous consequences of climate change is the key priority for the EU.
