“Settled science” means “not open to scientific investigation.” In general only religion and closed political systems are closed to scientific study. A cursory study of global warming reveals it is faith based and an ideologically closed system.
The primary authority for global warming is political. Its proponents are positioned to buy the loyalty of university facilities through the simple application of perpetually renewable government grants for research that substantiate the claims of global warmists. There is no government funded objective research on global warming.
The primary function of global warming is extortion. Industry particularly is obliged to provide substantial finaincial support for government. Ideological Marxism plays a critical role in the perpetuation of the global warming scam.
Financially stable governments and societies are under enormous pressure to “share the wealth” of their success with governments that fail their people. Tyrants, communist states, criminal enterprises, and bloated bureaucracies are the main beneficiaries of global warming funding.
Global warming practitioners are never obliged to reduce global warming. Their intent is to increase taxation based on the volume of “warming elements” produced by advanced communities. When industry, for example, reduced its carbon emissions another more insidious practice is discovered producing even more severe global warming trends.
Global warming must be viewed clearly and simply for what it really is, a criminal confidence scam perpetuated by governments on the accumulation of wealth. It has no other purpose. It serves no other master.
I have never seen the phrase “settled science” any where but here
the phrase is used by those that have no science or “don’t believe” in science. they disparage science because they perceive conflict with their religion
