Well then, the science is settled.

There is not and never can be any such thing as “settled science”.

The scientific method itself precludes that assumption.

The steps of the scientific method are to:
*Ask a Question
*Do Background Research
*Construct a Hypothesis
*Test Your Hypothesis by Doing an Experiment
*Analyze Your Data and Draw a Conclusion
*Communicate Your Results

On “climate change”, the part about testing the hypothesis is somehow skewed, in which there are some kinds of demonstration put on, but the results vary each time, and no consistent analysis may be made of the data collected. These important series of steps are merely glossed over, and the step is made from hypothesis to the conclusion, which is then not permitted to be challenged.

After all, this computation was all worked out with the aid of a computer model, and no human mind is sharp enough to include the wide range of variable involved.

There is an old saying involving the use of computers -Garbage in, garbage out, or GIGO.
