DISINFO: The West invented the "climate hoax" to stop Russia's economic development

This is a recurring pro-Kremlin conspiracy theory targeting Greta Thunberg and accusing the West of allegedly exploiting the environmental agenda and climate change topic for self-serving reasons, and as a means to weaken Russia. Climate change is a scientific fact. Humans are increasingly influencing the climate and the earth's temperature by burning fossil fuels, cutting down rain-forests and farming livestock. This adds enormous amounts of greenhouse gases to those naturally occurring in the atmosphere, increasing the greenhouse effect and global warming. Preventing dangerous consequences of the climate change is the key priority for the EU. For more disinformation cases about climate change, see here.
