First off: the main opponents of action to address climate change - the coal and oil industries - found the science behind human-activity-induced-climate-change to be sound more than fifty years ago, according to their own internal documents: https://www.sciencealert.com/coal-industry-knew-about-climate-change-in-the-60s-damning-revelations-show https://www.sciencealert.com/coal-industry-knew-about-climat... > Consensus is the currency of politics, not science No. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_consensus https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_consensus "Scientific consensus is the collective judgment, position, and opinion of the community of scientists in a particular field of study. Consensus generally implies agreement of the supermajority, though not necessarily unanimity.[1] Consensus is achieved through scholarly communication at conferences, the publication process, replication of reproducible results by others, scholarly debate,[2][3][4][5] and peer review." > Before Einstein there was > 99% consensus that Newtonian gravity was ultimate description of gravitational force. Again, no. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_relativity https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_relativity "Albert Einstein published the theory of special relativity in 1905, building on many theoretical results and empirical findings obtained by Albert A. Michelson, Hendrik Lorentz, Henri Poincaré and others. Max Planck, Hermann Minkowski and others did subsequent work. Einstein developed general relativity between 1907 and 1915, with contributions by many others after 1915. The final form of general relativity was published in 1916." ...but it's worth noting two things. The first is that Newton himself found his own theory, to put it colloquially, fucking absurd, and said that anyone who believed him was out of their goddamn gourd. He was never able to experimentally show the cause of gravity. Second: you have a strange basis for your criticism of science, given the scientific community tossed a centuries-old theory about motherfucking gravity out the window pretty rapidly once there was experimental evidence to back the new theory. To this day, we're still finding all sorts of new evidence that Einstein was right. Just like we keep finding new ways to verify almost every aspect of human-induced climate change theory. We have exhaustive amounts of evidence around CO2 levels, climate change, and sources of said CO2. The state of science is such that we've been able to figure out CO2 levels on earth going back 400 million years, with ice cores alone providing evidence of CO2 levels going back 800,000 years. Some of the evidence and experiments around CO2 date back more than a hundred years. "We're causing the climate to change" was something that scientists theorized several centuries ago. Almost every day, as science keeps gets better, we keep confirming that centuries old core theory. https://climate.nasa.gov/evidence/ https://climate.nasa.gov/evidence/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_climate_change_science https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_climate_change_scie...
