This is a big part of the problem.
There are no absolutes. This isn't like testing the gravitational pull of a new binary star system and discovering that it matches the predictions from the theories perfectly.
Climate change is a rate of change problem. Its a
large collection of theories and predictions.
You can't just say Science! and the conversation is over.
It is possible (and healthy) to have different viewpoints as to effects, timelines, which items are the biggest concerns, how to go about addressing and dealing with these issues, etc.
But quite often, differing viewpoints get aggressively attacked by the most ardent (zealot?) 'believers'.
To some people, anyone who disagrees with
any proposal, regardless of how extreme it is, must be an anti-science, non-believer.
