The scientists didn't pick the headline. An editor -- who I assure you knows nothing about Earth sciences -- picked it, for maximum clickbait.
I read the article. Anyone who just reads headlines these days are more or less dumb. You should know I read it since I could tell you that scientists were quoted in the article... But I guess that went over your head. The point is ultimately that youtube shorts isn't an accurate rebuttal to anything unless the person in the video is a direct source... And in this case you've validated they're not.
Sure thing homie. I just wanted to clear up a common misconception. But if you wanna take a stand about properly citing first-party sources in memes@lemmy.ml, then you do you I guess.
See... if you actually read my comment. It was a complaint that people upvoted a tiktok like video rather than an actual article that contained proper resources. Pointing out that people would rather prefer a bubbly personality rather than actually understanding it.
But you know... you do you I guess.
