You started off reasonable, but concluding with "Wake up. Stop believing the delusional hoax that "climate change is fiction" has me inclined to copy & paste some lines from the article:

"I believe in man-made climate change on the same basis. It seems like there’s a consensus in the scientific community, and I generally trust scientists."

"Do I believe in man-made climate change? I do. It makes perfect sense to me that massive amounts of emissions could build up in the atmosphere and cause the issues scientists predict. Also, I have a tendency to trust scientists. Science has unlocked near-magical capabilities for humanity. I’m typing this essay on a light-up box and sending it over the airways to my readers as we speak. I’ll be hopping into a giant metal tube with wings and getting hurled above the clouds later on today. I sit here, in an air-conditioned home, lit by electricity, while I wait. All of this tells me these scientists know a thing or two about what they’re doing."

"...I encourage the scientists to do their work faithfully, and I won’t mock them or impugn their motives. I’ll heed their advice and take their warnings seriously. Heck, much of what’s being suggested that we do to curtail emissions is sensible to do for a whole host of reasons, climate change aside. But until things look different from all the other times the world was set to end, I don’t think I’ll be panicking."
