  • Summary

  • We’ve been told for decades now that there is a climate catastrophe heading our way. Science says that the world is warming, and that humans are the cause, but over half of Americans disagree. Is climate change just a hoax designed to drive us towards communism? How do we know that the temperature changes we’ve seen aren’t natural? If global warming is real, can we even do anything about it, and are 2 degrees Celsius really going to bring about the end of humanity?
