@laurafayeten: “Scientists in the ’70s predicted an ice age!” 🥶❄️ Except not quite. Some scientists explored the possibility of global cooling. That’s not the same as predicting an ice age. The scientific literature included competing ideas, and researchers were studying what could happen under different conditions. Science isn’t a collection of prophecies. It’s a process of testing ideas against evidence, weighing possibilities, and updating our understanding as we learn more. Climate deniers love to grab one possibility from decades ago and pretend it was the consensus. It wasn’t. And here’s the part that matters: scientists have understood the warming effect of increasing atmospheric CO₂ for well over a century. The evidence for human-caused global warming has only grown stronger. A scientific possibility is not a prediction. A prediction is not a consensus. And cherry-picking old headlines is not climate science. 🌎🔬 #ClimateScience #ScienceCommunication #ClimateChange #CriticalThinking #FollowTheScience. @deadhead815
