MODERATORS
Just a friendly reminder that climate change was predicted well ahead of time, easily decades ago, with old predictive models turning out to have been decently accurate.
Decades ago (in the early 2000s) it was considered settled science and taught in schools (in Canada at least). It was studied by scientists at oil companies decades before that. It's been known for like 50 years now, almost an entire lifetime.
More than half of all the carbon emissions humans have ever produced were produced in those 50 years[1].
Also a reminder: oil corporations researched this, knew about it decades ago, and deliberately lied about what they knew.
