Does the Sun orbit the Earth, or does the Earth orbit the Sun? Most people believed in geocentrism until 1543 when Copernicus wrote his theory on heliocentrism. Before that, a few people had their own theories, but there was always opposition because it was counter to the "accepted narrative." Even Copernicus' work was banned for "heliocentrism was foolish, absurd, and heretical since it contradicted Holy Scripture."

"Catastrophism" is not a new concept. Most scientists and historians agree that periodically a cycle of climate change affects the planet. It has only been in the last few decades that the contemporary version of the "Supreme Sacred Congregation of the Roman and Universal Inquisition" - the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) - has made discussions on "Catastrophism" heretical. Their "accepted narrative" is that humans are solely responsible for climate change.
