The idea of the ‘climate change’ hoax is to fool us into thinking that is it us, mankind, that is the problem. Basically, we are too numerous and consume too much. As a result, the earth is warming up and the only way we can stop this, is to sacrifice ourselves for the earth (very contrary to what the bible says by the way).
The infamous Club of Rome think-tank had advocated in the 50’s that in order to depopulate the world, climate change was to be used as the catalyst to get us to willingly help our masters to take ourselves out of the equation. So far, the UN has made great advanced into this agenda as a result of complicit and corrupt heads of state (including ours) who belong to the same globalist club one way or the other.
Do not sell your friends and family out. Have nothing to do with ‘climate change’ prevention measures.
