Climate Change Question [View all]

I believe in the "hoax" I believe Climate Change is real AND caused by man.

When I get in arguments on this fact by those smarter than me who don't believe in the "hoax" they claim this is some diabolical plan.

Can someone explain to me this diabolical plan, I mean if I am going to believe in the "hoax" I wish I would at least know the reason behind the "hoax".

Seriously, I really don't understand why doubting climate change is ok to the Anti-Science Party, alright I do there are billions of reasons all $.

But, I don't see the monetary or power reasons they claim we Democratic have.

Can someone explain this to me?

For me saving the planet is reason enough.
