Is climate change a scam, or is that the real hoax?

In this video, we unpack one of the most controversial questions of our time: "Is climate change a scam?" While skeptics continue to question its validity, the science is clear. Climate change is real, it's human-caused, and it's already transforming our world in ways that are devastating and undeniable.

KEY FACTS:
- Global temperatures have risen by 1.1°C since the 1800s.
- 97% of climate scientists agree it’s caused by human activity.
- Over 70 billion tons of CO₂ are released annually.
- Sea levels have risen 8 inches in the past century.
- Industrial agriculture and fishing are destroying ecosystems.
- Climate-related disasters, droughts, floods, hurricanes, are increasing in frequency and intensity.

Despite overwhelming evidence, governments continue to subsidize fossil fuels, allow deforestation, and push false solutions while using climate rhetoric for political gain. From broken promises to corporate influence, the lack of meaningful action is costing lives, ecosystems, and the planet’s future.

This video breaks down the reality of the climate crisis, calls out political hypocrisy, and highlights how systemic profit-driven decisions have undermined decades of scientific warnings. But more importantly, it shows how we can fight back.

Scientific Proof That Climate Change Is Real:
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Reports
- 2021 report: "It is unequivocal that human influence has warmed the atmosphere, ocean, and land."
- 2014 report: Human activity is the primary driver of global warming
(Source: [IPCC](https://www.ipcc.ch))

National Academies of Sciences (USA, UK, others)
- “The scientific evidence is clear: Global climate change is occurring... primarily due to human activities.”
(Source: [NAS](https://www.nationalacademies.org))

Scientific Consensus
- Cook et al. (2013): 97% of climate scientists agree on human-caused climate change
- Mark Lynas et al. (2021): Over **99.9% of 88,000+ studies confirm it

Take Action
- Educate others
- Support climate policy
- Reduce animal product consumption
- Demand change from your leaders
- Get involved in grassroots movements

Climate change is not a scam, it’s the greatest challenge of our time. But together, we can be the solution.
