The essence of the the scientific problem solving process is constant research, revision and proving, not consensus
Also, good mathematics and good theory.
“Consensus science” is the last refuge of a scoundrel. Even one scientist with the truth, trumps 100,000,000 scientists who have “faith” in error.
If the science was settled, they would have a model with predictive power, and their models have been dreadfully wrong from the beginning. There is so much they don’t understand.
It has not been scientifically proven that these trace amounts of atmospheric CO2 are changing anything in the planet’s climate that is even remotely statistically relevant. Right now Global Warming has been put on hold as none of the AGW climate models have proven anything and the Earths temperature is not cooperating. Princeton mathematician Freeman Dyson back filled the models with actual CO2 numbers and the results diverged from the climatic history, so much for the accuracy of the models. The fact is that the scientists have not yet been born, nor the engineers yet been trained, nor the software designed nor the sensing equipment yet conceived that could create an interplanetary climate model that predicts the Earth’s climate with anything remotely resembling accuracy. They are attempting brain surgery in an operating room with no light, using garden tools, and armed only with a plumbing certificate. Who is on the table? The taxpayer!
