Could you provide any insight into how they are making money off of this?

Oh, and do you have a plan B if you are wrong? Do your kids or grandkids?

Studies and grants, the only way scientists make money.

Why would we care then….

When they write about us, surely they will have a laugh about what we thought. Exercise? Books will appear, of course with graphs as to how many people die on the way to the gym and pushing the machines. Bacon and salami? They didn't know were the cure for hydrophobia of the blowhole.

Thank you, you have opened my eyes, I didn't think of the scientists in the 1900's. It all makes sense now, all the scientists in the world are wrong. They were wrong once, so, there is no way we can ever trust them again.

Scientists develop theories and sometimes the theories are correct and are considered scientific laws. Othertime new info emerges and very often scientists have to rethink their previous beliefs.

People used to think that the planets orbited the earth. How did that work out?

First, theories are demonstratable, hypotheses are ideas.

In science theories are always challenged, seldom does a theory gets thrown out, it gets modified as new evidence shows flaws, which results in an improved theory.

Everyone should rethink their beliefs periodically. We are all prone to believing things we think are true. Scientists on the other hand have a method of updating hypotheses and theories, it's called the Scientific Method. It does not rely on beliefs, or what the janitor's cousin says.

The scientific method has improved a little bit since planets were thought to orbit the earth. And there was a bit of "religion" involved in that also, which is one reason it is so important to separate religion (faith-based beliefs) from science (fact/theory-based beliefs)

Seems to me they base it on how much snow & ice is melting on the N. & S. Poles.

Obvious it's important enough to the poster, so either read it, don't read it and move on

AMEN. !!!! Makes me want to look at these respondents past posts. Are they all snarky and dismissive?? I wonder.

It is a part of the information considered, but I think it is more a prediction of change that will add to the rate of change. If that makes sense.

Here is a NASA site that provides a lot of information and many links:
