Evolution deniers do this too. You have to be careful what you call "settled science." In evolution, for instance, is settled science that the diversity of life and speciation are a result of science by natural selection and other mechanisms. 1/https://twitter.com/terrysimpson/status/1114922012034490368 …

I think it’s not worth the time trying to be nuanced with bad faith deniers. With those it’s ok to say absolute certainty and settled. If someone brings up that science isn’t settled the onus is on them to be nuanced.

They live in a world filled with misinformation and feel emboldened that they have an answer that scientists don’t.

I also sometimes use this analogy. If you're going to call into question longstanding scientific theory/conclusion, you need either a bulletproof observation that calls the whole theory into question or observations backed by a similar level of evidence.
