In a list of the 30 “Greatest Conspiracy Theories,” the UK’s Telegraph lists doubters of global warming (“global warning is a hoax”) among a list that includes “Pearl Harbor was allowed to happen,” “Shakespeare was somebody else,” “Elvis Presley faked his own death,” and “The Illuminati and the New World Order.”

29. Global warming is a hoax — Some climate change doubters believe that man-made global warming is a conspiracy designed to soften up the world’s population to higher taxation, controls on lifestyle and more authoritarian government. These sceptics [sic] cite a fall in global temperatures since last year and a levelling [sic] off in the rise in temperature since 1998 as evidence.
