Great article on the current situation in climate science. Climate science
and how it is done very much is like Platos' alegory of the cave.

Great quote from that article:

"When you go to your doctor, and she says you're due for a heart attack,
you don't turn around and say medicine is imperfect even if she can't
predict the date of your heart attack," Sommerville said. "You take it
seriously. I think climate science is in that position now."
