Scientists tend to focus on what they don't know more than what they do know. And there are a lot of things we still don't know about the climate.

The scientist keeps the romantic honest, and the romantic keeps the scientist human.
No part of the aim of normal science is to call forth new sorts of phenomena; indeed those that will not fit the box are often not seen at all. Nor do scientists normally aim to invent new theories, and they are often intolerant of those invented by others.
Exploration is what you do when you don't know what you're doing. That's what scientists do every day. If a scientist already knew what they were doing, they wouldn't be discovering anything, because they already knew what they were doing.
The ideal scientist thinks like a poet, works like a bookkeeper, and writes like a journalist.
If there are lessons to be drawn from the sciences, then that should be the concern of everyone, including scientists to the extent that they can make a contribution.
