As a child in school (1950s) we were taught brontosaurs lived in water because they could not walk on land due to their weight, and Tyranosaurs walked upright dragging their tails on the ground. It was settled science!

Yes, I remember that.

They also predicted a new Ice Age would take place by now. Then fifty years went by and it suddenly became global warming.

I remember those same lessons in school too. I had the Golden Book Encyclopedia)I believe that’s what it was called) that showed dinosaurs as great, lumbering beasts complete with a Brontosaurus floating in a swamp and a T Rex lumbering around like a guy in a cheap Godzilla type get up.
