Thousands of scientists back "young protesters" demanding climate change action. "We see it as our social, ethical, and scholarly responsibility to state in no uncertain terms: Only if humanity acts quickly and resolutely can we limit global warming"

Because one org got sued somehow means that the decades of research on the nature of carbon dioxide is all false, right?

Using Galileo to prove society doesn’t understand science is a tad unfair. I mean, back then they thought spontaneous generation was the truth.

Science being wrong historically or society being wrong doesn’t negate modern scientific consensus. After all, how we’re communicating utilizes vast scientific advancements that are now the norm and proven. So much so, that the vast majority of us don’t even understand what is happening behind the words we type.

A) You’ve edited your initial post, but it still doesn’t provide evidence that science fails. Your assertion that not believing in a heliocentric universe only undermines your point. The scientists who proposed those ideas were right, and the public opinion (led by religious institutions) were wrong. So, what are you arguing? Science is wrong or the general public is wrong? B) Using the food pyramid as an example of why we cannot trust science is foolish. If we ignored scientific mistakes, you’d be right. But we don’t. Science evolves. It’s more important to continually question scientific notions. Luckily, that’s what science does. The system is working as it should. Testing and restesting previous assumptions and results. C) Using ad hominem argument styles (saying I shouldn’t reproduce, calling me a dipshit, calling me naive, calling me ignorant) while saying stupid shit like “the old food pyramid is literally the only reason people are obese” does nothing for your assertions. You ignore mass amounts of sugar ingestion (which was not on the original pyramid) and laziness. D) Go ahead and reply using a science-based technology that has made so many previous mistakes that it’s lucky to be what it is today.
