Climatology is a real science. Unfortunately many of it’s practicioners have become pseudo-scientists.
I'd say a very large portion of them have become slaves to government funding which requires them to produce pseudoscience.
I think climateology is more of an art than science. It attempts to use science to explain earths dynamic weather patterns in a short term “stimulus-response” manner when actually earths weather is so long term in nature that discernable patterns are not recognizeable...not enough data. Science is based on predictability.
