The disconnect seems to be that the political apparatus seems to characterize these “no expert who would argue we know everything there is to know about climate science” folks as “experts who argue that we know everything there is to know about climate science” folks.
Hence the whole “settled science” BS talking point.
I'd argue the much bigger problem is the those who argue we don't know enough to take serious action on climate change. Uncertainty about how monsoons are going to react or when the east antarctic might begin to shed mass aren't serious enough uncertainties to justify continuing this out of control experiment with the thermal and chemical properties of the atmosphere and oceans.
