I never said it was impossible to replicate climate experiments. The problem is that they tend to use "the science is settled" as an excuse to discourage people from attempting to replicate it. For example, by refusing to share data with anyone who hasn't precommitted to not publishing failed replications, using peer-review and intimidation of editors to prevent failed replications from being published, accusing anyone who has published failed replications of only doing so because he was paid by the oil industry (the fact that said people frequently haven't received any money from the oil industry being irrelevant) after all, if "the science is settled", why else would someone publish a failed replication.
People want to tell everything instead of telling the best 15 words. They want to learn everything instead of the best 15 words. In this thread, instead post the best 15-words from a book you've read recently (or anything else). It has to stand on its own. It's not a summary, the whole value needs to be contained in those words.
I'll start in the comments below.
