> when the science is settled it becomes a law

That's not how it works for most of science. Most consensus ideas are theories because they are impossible to prove well enough to call them a law.



Couldn’t have said it better myself. Climate change is an unproven theory, far from the certainty that the political side of science makes it out to be.

For all intents and purposes until we have better modeling climate change is largely a political topic.

People for the most part have a pet form of energy generation they want the world to switch to and use wildly inaccurate climate models to beat everyone who disagrees with them over the head with.

See Germany and switching to oil and gas over climate friendly nuclear and trying to get gas added as a renewable form of energy and nuclear removed.
