Isn't it strange that scientists keep changing their climate models that work so well they are beyond reproach?

I'm confused because my favorite oracle keeps telling me that the "science is settled" and there exists something called "100% scientific consensus"

It turns out they know nothing.

Oceans cool the planet more than we thought, study finds | Knowridge

The oceans have long been known as the Earth’s natural climate regulators, absorbing heat and redistributing it across the planet.

Now, scientists have discovered that the oceans also emit a sulfur gas that cools the climate more than previously thought.

This groundbreaking research, published in Science Advances, reveals how sulfur emissions from marine life play a crucial role in reducing global warming...."

No, that is the purpose of scientific research in all fields, from astronomy to biochemistry, polishing and improving knowledge to make the conclusions more precise and better continuously.

I'm confused because my favorite oracle keeps telling me that the "science is settled" and there exists something called "100% scientific consensus"

That comes from refusing to learn what is consensus, you like to pretend it means a rock solid conclusion that will never change when in fact it just mean a common conclusion that the current scientific community of the world reach according to the evidence, this consensus improves all the time as well.

It turns out they know nothing.

Not at all, it turns "they" don't know every single thing, but of course they are the ones that know the most about the topic.

What does this have to do with the article, the warnings are clear and should be taken into account by people that are not in denial of the reality of the planet. Pretending everything is well without any basis is not a productive attitude.

A model should either be 100% accurate or it's useless? If you're confused about the basics of how all science advances, the problem might not be with the scientists.
