Climate change denial is the conspiracy that the scientific claims, evidence, and logic that prove the existence of climate change have been tampered with and fabricated. Deniers believe that such evidence is made up in order for scientists to keep their funding or as a way to allow the government to control the people by setting new regulations on manufacturing.

There is also no shortage of climate change deniers with Republican Senator James Inhofe claiming that “climate change might be the biggest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people”. Other known climate change deniers include President Donald Trump who claims that “global warming was created by the Chinese to make US manufacturing non-competitive.”
