Or maybe the problem is that too many of us give more value to science instead of just believing in what we experience ourselves, even though scientists are only permitted to come up with the cautiously worded, much delayed truisms as above. But I am glad that science is catching up with what we know!

To be honest, I'm pretty sure that it's the other way around.

That sounds exactly like something a human made climate change denier would say after they happened to experience two consecutive cold winters in their area. I'd rather have them giving more value to science.
