Global warming an invention of the CIA –Edward Snowden

Fugitive Edward Snowden has made another controversial declaration after he revealed in an interview with the Moscow Tribune saying he has classified information which proves that the CIA is behind the “theory of Global Warming”.

According to the National Security Agency whistleblowerb who lives in Russia, the CIA first orchestrated the spread of the “Global Warming scare” in the 1950s, in order to divert the attention of the scientific community, from the dangers of the weapons race and reinforce its control over research institutes.

“I have documents showing that the CIA invented the whole thing,” claims Edward Snowden. “Global Warming was invented to both scare people, and divert their attention from other human-made dangers like nuclear weapons.

“The CIA gave millions of dollars to any scientist who would confirm the theory; so many unscrupulous scientists did what they were told in order to get the money. Now, there is so much fake data to confirm that Global Warming “exists”, that they actually convinced everyone that it was real.”

Hired by an NSA contractor in 2013 after previous employment with Dell and the CIA, Snowden revealed thousands of classified NSA documents to journalists in the month of June of the same year.

The fugitive who also claimed to be in possession of CIA documents, linking the agency to many illegal activities was charged with espionage by the US government shortly after his revelations were made public.
