“why climate scientist aren’t scientists ? there is no repeatable aspect to what they say will happen...in other words they cant PROVE scientifically what they claim”

The scientific method (aka Science) is based on experimentation and valid experiments require a positive and negative control. I dont see how Climate scientists can design or run a properly controlled experiment. Thats why they rely so heavily on models. This calls all their results into question especially since their models fail to accurately reflect the past or predict future conditions.

Astronomers can't run controlled experiments on the nature of stars... and yet the Main Sequence is a very scientific explanation of stellar activity and stellar populations.

Not every science has the capacity for "controlled experiments".

It's making predictions that can be verified by further observation that's important.

As for "climate science"... it's not that it is fundamentally unscientific... it could be scientific. The problem with "climate science" as it exists today is that it has been completely and totally hijacked by a political and economic agenda run by forces that are so powerful they make Galileo's opponents look like pipsqueaks in comparison.

If you say ANYTHING against the POLITICAL ORTHODOXY of "climate science" (as it is defined by the powerful forces that control it) you will be permanently unemployed by all university/main-stream-research institutions. And all "climate scientists" know that.

Some of them brave the opposition and speak out anyway (fully aware they have forever burned their bridges to the establishment) but most knuckle under and repeat the incantations of the "climate science" priests.

This all has NOTHING to do with what "climate science" could be, if it were truly treated as a science, but is only about the very powerful socialist forces on planet earth today who have coopted "climate science" as an anti-capitalist tool.
