ah Copperbod, the semantic pedant poster, whose many posts on HC climate threads fit comfortably into the denial sub-theme of simply nit picking.
Probably because those who deny the science coming from AGW and climate change don’t have a scientific leg to stand on, so in the case of Copperbod resort to semantics.
if you don’t like the word “settled” to describe climate science think of a synonym that covers it, such as established.
so the science of AGW and climate change is well established and supported by the overwhelming majority of climate scientists.
there is no established science supporting those who deny AGW and climate change.
none.
that’s why your pedantry comes to the fore, and semantics.
