When the Climate people started talking about “settled science”, every decent scientist in the world should have jumped up and said, “Hang on. We never really know much of anything in science. We don’t “prove” things in science — that’s a mathematical concept not a scientific concept. Science is a quest, we are constantly learning new things. Science is never “settled” and it’s a bad idea to talk about it that way.”
But, of course, scientists kept their mouths shut.
