Climate change is near-universally regarded by the scientific community as something occurring on this planet because of human activity.

They may paint climate denial as a “fair alternative”, project renewable energy as unrealistic, or even use racist and antisemitic tropes to portray climate change as a foreign hoax to destroy the United States. Over time, some people absorb these views and fight against climate spending. This is Why Disinformation Campaigns Threaten to Destroy Climate Progress.
