I think there are two major categories of science, experimental and observational.

Experimental science includes things like simple high school physics lab, DNA analysis and synthesis, the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, etc.

Observational science includes botany (billions of plants), zoology (billions of animals), geology (lots of rocks, even moon rocks), astronomy (trillions of stars), etc.

Climate “Science” is neither of these: we can’t do experiments on climates, nor can we observe other climates. We can’t even accurately observe our own climate over a significant stretch of time.

In other words, it’s a lot of speculation, which produces hypotheses which cannot really be tested. So they’re not even theories.

Well said!
