> People who call themselves scientists should not be making high confidence predictions to the public or politicians when they don't perfectly understand the underlying relationships
that is an interesting opinion, but it doesn't seem to make a lot of sense, considering nobody perfectly understands the underlying relationships of any of our science, with quantum physics still a work in progress
perhaps that is why trust in science remains, despite any nihilistic claims to the contrary
> Look at the CO2 line and then mark on the various international summits, treaties, etc. They aren't visible. Nothing changed.
it would be farcical to suggest that an international summit would somehow immediately decrease CO2 levels, and to thus treat the absence of such a ridiculous and nongradual change as evidence that there was no change

is that indeed what you're suggesting?
