Climate Change Hoax: Bacteria vs. Humans

In a recent climate change-related hoax, skeptics were handed what seemed like evidence against human involvement, with an obscure journal attributing global warming to underwater bacteria, not human activities. The 2007 report claimed these bacteria produced carbon dioxide 300 times more than human industries. The perpetrator, British author David Thorpe, revealed he initiated the hoax to convey a satirical message and demonstrate how people readily believe information that aligns with their biases.
