Thousands of fake copies of the New York Post were handed out around Manhattan this morning.
The paper's headline read "we're screwed," and claimed the city was predicting climate catastrophes and public health disasters.
The political prankster group The Yes Men was responsible for the hoax, which comes just a day before the United Nations summit on climate change.
NY1 has reached out to the real Post for comment.
The New York Times found itself in a similar situation last November, when over a million fake copies were distributed, claiming the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were over, and that solutions for global warming, health care and the economy were imminent.
