>> I consider AGW to be much more settled science than say, sociology.

Sociology is barely science.

See: "The Bell Curve". Excellent science, roundly rejected by the community of sociologists. Psychology, same thing. The great scientists of psychology are long gone; today, it is hair-on-fire excitement over pscyho-babble.

"More settled" than that isn't impressive.

The idea of "settled science" that is still debated by significant numbers of people -- and AGW is -- is itself unsettling to me. That it is "settled" within a given political context means nothing, scientifically.
