@stevejones2310 Hardly settled. When you have governments saying "settled science", hold onto your wallet.

@michaelpettersson4919 Well, the justice system works just fine because the standard is "beyond a reasonable doubt", not "absolutely certain". But when you demand we change our way of life, spend 10's of trillions of dollars, you need to be "absolutely certain"

@JJRM8 Oh, that's not really true. The hockey stick curve is nonsense as well.

@MrAkaacer There is no science hierarchy which determines what's true and what's false. Science is a methodology, dependent on data. If you have no data to support your hypothesis, you're not a scientist, regardless of your degree or reputation.

@estelarodriguez3611 Yes, but ordinary people believe there is a science hierarchy that determines what is true or false, so if a government scientist says it (it used to ) have some weight. Even if you believe peer review is important, that's not how it works. The reality (as you say ) is that science is a methodology for testing a theory.

Two phrases in popular use are antithetical to science: 1) Settled Science 2) Trust the science Bonus quote "They hate me, because I am the science"

In saying that, the doubt that starts is whether governments are giving grants to support a particular policy. A lot of bad science is done that way.

@JJRM8 Yes of course, but our data set is woefully incomplete in terms of being able to ban CO2 as a pollutant. That's pseudo-science.

@markschwartz7480 You can just block that kind of nonsense

@Nat_BLSK As one of my physics professors said many years ago. "Science doesn't determine truth, science develops theories and data. If you're looking for truth, I suggest you take a course in philosophy"

@brucelittleboy3594 ...and it's easy to do if you have the data . A scientist without data is just giving an opinion. And you know what they say about opinions....
