Well doesn't it mean that the vast majority of scientists regard it as such? "Settled' that is.

Climate science is in its infancy. Nobody can even mount evidence to explain how and when we go into and out of ice ages (though there are several theories put forward). If they can't explain the big stuff, it's crazy to think they can extrapolate 0.75 degrees of warming over the last 150 years into a runaway climate catastrophe. Yes, 0.75 degrees is all the warming on recording, and much of that is suspect due to urban heat effects.

The CERN CLOUD experiments just lent sufficient evidence for the participation of cosmic rays in cloud formation to render the warmists' models obsolete. Yet the one thing you never, ever hear from the warmists is a pause for reevaluation in the light of new evidence. The evidence changes, but the same arguments go forward. Which should be the ultimate proof that what we are discussing is not science, but politics.

I should point out that one of the leading skeptics is Dr. Roy Spencer, a former NASA scientist and a distinguished climatologist. He was the co-author on the Remote Sensing paper that caused the editor to resign. His site is here

He has also published several books explaining his views for the lay audience. His latest is
