Abstract

Climate change is undoubtedly a defining feature of this century, yet it is often attributed to human 
activity in ways that may not accurately reflect reality. This paper challenges the dominant narrative, 
arguing that global warming and climate shifts are natural occurrences in Earth's history and not solely 
driven by human actions. It suggests climate change policies impose unnecessary economic burdens on 
nations and hinder technological progress. The paper scrutinizes scientific claims of human-induced 
climate change, highlighting instances of manipulated data and selective presentation that reinforce the 
idea of an impending global disaster. The effects of climate change on fisheries and aquaculture are 
complex, influencing ecosystems, economies, and communities worldwide. Addressing these challenges 
necessitates coordinated global efforts to mitigate climate change, implement sustainable practices, and 
invest in innovative solutions. The focus on reducing greenhouse gas emissions is criticized for leading 
to expensive and ineffective measures, ultimately hindering economic growth and job creation. This 
study questions the prevailing discourse surrounding climate change, the challenges fisheries face, and 
the socio-economic issues linked to climate migration. It advocates for a more nuanced understanding 
that considers historical climate variations and calls into question the validity of current research 
methodologies, encouraging a thorough exploration of the complex dynamics and potential societal 
impacts of climate change.
