The Great Global Warming Blunder

"The Great Global Warming Blunder" refers to the mistake where climate scientists initially underestimated the role of the Sun’s natural variability in Earth’s climate change, overemphasizing human CO₂ emissions. This led to some early doubts about humanity’s influence on warming. However, later research confirmed that human-produced greenhouse gases are the primary driver of recent global warming, and the Sun’s role is less significant than once thought. Recognizing this correction helped clarify understanding of climate change, emphasizing the importance of reducing greenhouse gases to mitigate future impacts.
