OK, everything is a scam/hoax/fake news. And, people are stupid and fall for it every time. But then you end the post with... Climate Change is going to destroy Civilization within a few decades! That's not a scam/hoax/fake news? Because?
You have waken up to the idea that not everything is as portrayed in the corporate media. Big corporations and the governments are joined at the hip, practically the same people are running them, moving back and forth between them. Make the next step, reject everything they say, on principle.
And then comes the interesting part: Try to find out the truth for yourself. Maybe the official story is true, maybe the "alternative" is true, or maybe it's a 20/80 split type of a situation.
In many cases, there is not enough or too contradictory data. So accept that "we don't know". I'd say, that is the usual situation. Good data is incredibly hard to collect. If there is an interest to bend it in one direction or another, it is bent. So important data is definitely bent by the time it reaches the public. How much? Who TF knows...
