Somebody one told them
Correct answer
We have known about global warming for more than 100 years. The industry and the oil and coal companies have been blocking, lying, cheating, and bribing their way all this time to make money. All of this is a well known and documented fact.
Damn I absolutely wanted to call BS on that “more than 100 years” bit, but you right. Svante Arrhenius, 1896. And then his theory got mostly confirmed in the 30’s, and now I’m more pissed off than when I thought we first started suspecting a link in the 60’s. The absolute fuck, humanity??
Please. Climate change has been a well-lnown phenomena for a very long time. Scientists in the 19th century were warning that rising CO2 from human-caused emissions could harm the climate.

“Global warming” was used way before Smash Mouth. This is like saying “Lil Wayne invented guitar solos”.
He didn’t?
By reading the news? “All Star” came out in 1999. The term “global warming” was used in Congressional testimony in the late '80s; it was a known phenomenon.
Like the Earth being round, people that were knowledgeable knew about it long before most people think. Arrhenius, a famous chemist, knew CO2 could warm the planet over 100 years ago.
