Climatology has the weakness of being unable to validate its theories. There are two uses of the word theory; a supposition which is not backed by observation is known as a conjecture, and if backed by observation it is a hypothesis. Climatology's observations are in fact so weak given the breadth of what is known to be inaccessible, that climatological theories can't rise above supposition. I like testable theories and reproducible results, if I'm going to change my life based on a theory.
