Hi ! I am a French student. For English class, I have to write a text : imagine and say why climate change does NOT exist.
Is there an error ? Thank you

Today, scientists affirm that our planet is in danger, it has to face global warming so we have to change our way of living to avoid the problems due to the global temperature increase
But, do we have to trust scientists?
Let’s talk about global warming theory. According to scientists, it is the Earth getting warmer because of people who are putting heat-trapping gases, also known as greenhouse gases, into the air, for example when we use cars. These gases make the Earth’s climate change, causing problems such as natural disasters or species extinction.
However, I have some reasons to think that global warming is not real.
First of all : -60°C have been recorded in Iakoutsk, on the 19th of january 2023 . That's the COLDEST temperature ever recorded for 20 years. And we talk about an increase of earth temperatures ? Moreover, the earth’s climate has always changed : throughout the planet’s history, there have been periods of warming and cooling and these fluctuations occurred long before human activities. it's a natural cycle. Furthermore, there is not any proof that the potential increase of temperatures is due to greenhouse gases. Last but not least, an increasing number of researchers claim that global warming isn’t real : we can mention Richard Linden, or Ivar Giaever and Kary Mullins who have received a Nobel prize.
That is why I affirm that the global warming is a pure invention.
Nowadays, social media and AI development permit the spreading of fake information and falsified videos, which is a great way for scientists to make people think global warming is alarming.
So, scientists are lying. But, why ?
- They may want to make some gain : they could run a company which sell solar panels for example, and want to make more sales. Indeed, as the population is concerned about global warming, the demand for environmentally friendly products is likely to surge and lead profits for their business
Also, it’s maybe a way to control the population, especially the births since they think we are too much on the planet. Some people could think that raising a child in this environmental situation is a bad idea for his well-being considering the potential environmental difficulties the next generations may face in the future.
So, global warming theory seems real, but a lot of element show us it isn’t, and we can guess why scientists are lying about it. It’s important to fact-check and not believe what everyone assumes.
