FWIW, here’s my take on climate science as a lowly physicist:

1.) Legitimate climate science. It uses physical measurements (ice cores, tree rings, etc. etc.) within the framework of experimental methods to study and explain climate changes in the *past*. Amazingly well done.

2.) Bogus climate science. It relies on arbitrary computer models to *predict the future* without a shred of actual physical measurement data (because that can only be gathered *in the future*). Bzzzz. Losers.

And that’s all there is to the science part. We can measure the past, but we cannot predict the future. The rest is *politics*.
