If I “misunderstood” your point, it’s because you blatantly misstated it. Your point was very clear: you brought up the political angle, and then concluded “… which never seems to lead to good science.” I’m correctly pointing out that climate science is good science. The fact that right-wing Republican types are lying about it does not in any way detract from its solid evidence-based findings. And yes, the question about the overwhelming influence of human activities in post-industrial climate change, most dramatically over the past 50 years, is indeed incontrovertible settled science. The “debate” over such fundamentals exists only among idiots and right-wing media, not in the scientific community, with the exception of a handful of known crackpots that no one doing real science takes seriously.
