Real science has been saying this for 100yrs. Noooobody listened. Enjoy the lifeless hellscape. I will be long gone.

You did not read the article- "Now, with the world already 1.2 degrees hotter, scientists believe that warming this century will most likely fall between two or three degrees. (A United Nations report released this week ahead of the COP27 climate conference in Sharm el Sheikh, Egypt, confirmed that range.) A little lower is possible, with much more concerted action; a little higher, too, with slower action and bad climate luck. Those numbers may sound abstract, but what they suggest is this: Thanks to astonishing declines in the price of renewables, a truly global political mobilization, a clearer picture of the energy future and serious policy focus from world leaders, we have cut expected warming almost in half in just five years."
Read IPCC report on impacts and read what climate scientists say instead of speculating-

That actually is not true in terms of the broad scientific opinion at the time. Oh there were some headlines about it but it was not anywhere close to being an accepted theory by the majority of climate scientists. A far greater number were already warning of the dangers of greenhouse gases and their effect on climate change.

I've seen this claim before, and traced it back to Sean Hannity. So, its just a mass media talking point.
Someone combed through studies on the subject from the 50s to 70s and while there was not the 97% consensus on global warming that there is today, there were something like 60% of studies predicting warming.
About 10% of studies predicted global cooling.
You've been misled by biased media outlets.
