The scientific method includes welcoming challenges to the conclusions of the posed hypothesis.
What if we said THE SCIENCE IS SETTLED when we thought the earth was the center of the universe?
What if we said THE SCIENCE IS SETTLED when we said it was impossible to travel faster than the speed of sound?
What if we said THE SCIENCE IS SETTLED when we thought protons, neutrons, and electrons are the smallest particles?
What if we said THE SCIENCE IS SETTLED when we thought that Dinosaurs were more like lizards? now we know they were more like birds, with feathers.
What if we said THE SCIENCE IS SETTLED when we thought Pluto was a true planet?
What if we said THE SCIENCE IS SETTLED when we thought that we are all born as a BLANK SLATE? Now we know we have much information in our brains based on genes.
What if we said THE SCIENCE IS SETTLED when we thought the universe was static? That was Einstein. The Hubble telescope blew that out of the water.
What if we said THE SCIENCE IS SETTLED when we thought that FIRE is an element?
I could go on and on.
Anyone who says the science is settled on global warming is one of 3 things:
1) A douchbag uninformed parrot
2) a terrible scientist
3) a politician or business person looking to make a dime off a grift.
