Global warming is not a hoax. It's real. The rub is that... is it a normal cycle, or caused by greenhouse gasses, whatever.
In the long run, the ape man on earth now is here for a blink of the eye in geologic time. How long he will exist is in question. He will likely not survive too long, in time.

Global warming heats the oceans which melt the ice caps, blanch the coral reefs, confuse maritime species and cause much more violent hurricanes. All this is happening more and more and more.

I'm an avid scuba diver. The damage to the reefs is shocking and disturbing in just the past 15 years, even in places far from water pollution. It's the heating of the ocean. Reefs which are the cradles of life for the ocean can only survive at constant temperatures. Many species die out when the water warms up just a few degrees.

This is serious business, pal, no hoax at all.
