>Science uses the scientific method, which requires the conduct of controlled experiments with reproducible results.

Science can be defined as “Information obtained by methods based on observation.” Or, broadly defined, the application of the inductive logic method.

The “hard” sciences utilize repeatability and reproducibility
as an important and unique aspect. The historical sciences cannot be repeated: geology, evolution. They are a bit “fuzzy.”

The “fuzzy” sciences, such as sociology or psychology, have large standard deviations and require very strict adherence to clearly defined procedural methods to have any validity.

Just because you can’t use the scientific method on phenomena you would like to pretend you have “scientific” knowledge of doesn’t give you a license to change the definition of science.

There are only four questions that remain unresolved about climate change: 1) Its existence 2) Its cause 3) Its impact 4) Its solution
Other than that ...

Au contraire ... to a Leftist these are not 'questions', nor are they unresovoled, but are 'statements of fact';

1) Its existance -- of course 'climate change' exists. Are you a denier?
2) Its cause -- well, SUV's, Hairspray, and Cow Farts are part of it. But the main cause is (of course); cultural, individual, and economic Liberty.
3) Its impact -- Leftists not being in charge.
4) Its solution -- global Communism. With Leftists in charge (of course).

What about the fourth stage, the reality that sets in when volcanoes in Hawaii and Guatemala undo in one week what liberals spent decades blaming humans for.

And quadrillions of $s

How odd...
You don't know the difference between "breath" (noun) and "breathe" (verb?)

How old are you?
