[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So what?

Years ago it was "global warming"
Now its "climate change" bc we found the earth is both warming and cooling.

This teacher may have their own theory.  Sorry that it differs from what you THINK you know.

I think there is a lot we do NOT understand about this earth.[/quote]

Science always has uncertainty, and updates its knowledge but that doesn't mean that relativism where any theory is as good as any other makes sense. You weigh the evidence and make a reasoned judgment that informs action. And you listen to the scientists who best know how to read the body of evidence.  Does this mean we understand it all? No.  But we still need to make the most reasoned actions to address concerns and then update our actions and plans as situations evolve. There is still considerable evidence for a warming planet overall AND that it manifests itself in more extreme variability in weather cycles.  We need to prepare for the effects of these changes, predict where and when and to what degree they are likely to occur, and invest in prevention. I am in infrastructure/construction planning and the science on climate change is most definitely used in --and essential to--the work we do. [/quote]
