But climate is not subject to experiment. Historically, science has
tended to be erratic, faddish, and usually wrong until corrected by
experiment.

These guys want to replace confirmation by experiment with proof by
correlation. Which they're in a unique position to ensure.

They're the ones with infinite government funding, they're the
official interface to and gate-keepers of the raw data, and they're
not letting other people have it. Why? Because the data do not
support their model.

That's wrong.

Or proof by simulation. Simulation of extremely nonlinear chaotic
systems whose dynamics and forcing inputs are largely unknown.
