Folks, particularly those many of you who aren't scientists and have an ugly habit of sneering at science that you don't understand at all:

"The models just don't predict this,"

THAT IS WHY WE MAKE MORE AND BETTER OBSERVATIONS. WE LIKE TO LEARN NEW THINGS. WE LIKE TO GET RID OF MODELS AND THEORIES THAT DON'T WORK, AND REPLACE THEM WITH BETTER MODELS AND THEORIES.

That's how science works.

The people who know they don't know everything, and are happy with new discoveries, are scientists.

The people who think they know it all are flim-flam artists.

The people who think they know it all are flim-flam artists.

You accurately described the people who insist the climate "science is settled".
