Wait, THE Nature journal just pulled a massive climate paper?

Yep. That German Potsdam Institute study everyone cited last year—the one screaming "$38 trillion annual damage by 2049"—just got yanked. Retracted. Gone.

Guess those doomsday numbers weren't holding up under scrutiny. Makes you wonder what other "settled science" is built on shaky ground. When even peer-reviewed journals start eating their own headlines, trust becomes the real scarce asset.

Huh? 38 trillion is gone just like that? Laughing to death, this is why I don't trust these big numbers What about scientific integrity? Where's the promised peer review? Nature has started retracting papers, how many more are hanging by a thread? End-of-the-world predictions like this are made one after another, scare people and then delete the posts What was said? This is the real FUD, haha The paper has been eaten up, and trust can't be eaten out either Wait, is this science or marketing?

Whoa, 38 trillion just evaporated? Does this make the scientific community feel embarrassed?

Haha, this is getting interesting. The $38 trillion Bitcoin is gone just like that. Scientific consensus can also be overturned. Who would have thought? Peer review, huh? It feels more and more like a rubber stamp. Data can lie, and reviewers can also turn a blind eye. Really, now we have to question all information, including those with an aura of authority. This move indeed reminds us that many things are just "close enough." But on the other hand, the retraction of papers also shows that the system is still self-correcting. That's a good thing, right? Gossip always lags behind the truth by a beat.

Haha, that's awkward. 38 trillion dollars just disappeared like that. --- So what is the status of those reports that cited this paper now? --- Another "consensus science" got called out, but Web3 folks have long been used to this. --- Wait, did they really just withdraw it directly? No explanation given? --- Wow, peer review has become peer deletion. --- That's why I don't trust any numbers from big institutions. --- Even Nature is starting to shift blame, indeed.
