A good old friend of mine who is no longer a baby but is brand new to the internet and some of its unreliable contents said that he heard from different sources that our planet might be cooling soon again based on changing sea currents such as the Gulf Stream among other reasons.
He asked me if I heard about it. I said no, and he asked me to check for him. I did, and my response was negative as there are currently no serious scientific reports predicting a trend towards significant climate cooling in the near future. In fact, the overwhelming consensus within the scientific community is for the opposite: continued global warming.
The vast majority of scientific evidence indicates that global warming is a real and present threat. Although temporary cooling events may occur locally, the long-term trend is toward a warmer planet with significant environmental and societal consequences.It's crucial to rely on credible scientific sources and avoid misinformation when understanding climate change. I then told my friend that what he had been reading was likely part of the vast disinformation campaigns coming from the fossil fuel industries which are pushing against man-caused global warming, electric cars, etc.
These “fake news” is what gave us, thanks to Putin, Trump in the United States and convinced, without much hope of changing their minds, between 30 and 50 million Americans that believe his lies are true and has become the new black hole of the internet and social media...
