One of the many conspiracy theories that people are going mad about is that global warming is a hoax. Global warming is when there is an increase in temperature that is thought to be caused by carbon dioxide created by humans and other animals (Geiselman). The global warming hoax has been going on since the 1980’s and is still an ongoing conspiracy theory today. With nobody knowing if global warming is real or not, some people think it is a hoax because global warming is just an earth cycle, people think it is a scam used to make money.
To begin with, one of the reasons why global warming is considered a hoax is because this climate change is only an earth cycle. One way scientist know that it is an earth cycle is because it is actually getting colder. Scientist have found that the ocean is getting colder. “...rates of change in ocean heat content are ‘preponderantly negative’” (Hiserodt 13). Evidence of ice and glaciers have also been found. Scientist at Boulder, Colo say that the arctic ice is making a comeback and might even get larger over the next few decades (International). Ice being expanding is a sign that global warming could be a hoax after all. The earth has also had hot and cold cycles before. A group of scientist from Syracuse University did a study that showed that in …show more content…
The reason why some people think it is a scheme to make money is because people’s tax money is used to fund it. According to Hiserodt, $165 billion of people tax money was used for climate change or the past decade (14). Hiserodt also states, “...‘30 times as much money on global warming research as he does on weather forecasting and warning’…” (14). Hiserodt also says that we spend more than $22 billion dollars a year on just global warming and most of it come from taxpayers (14). This shows people that a lot of money is used just on global warming and only global
