This is not how falsification works. If you provide another hypothesis, even
if it was better tailored to your measured data, you now have two of them that
work. The former one didn't magically stop working. Which one is valid? (Hint:
may be the former, if you account for variables you didn't think about
previously, or may be neither of them).
And most hypotheses are formed as a cause-effect explainations. How to verify
that in a correlation of two phenomena one of them is the reason for the
other? Climatology has only offered speculation till this day.

Well, nothing to brag about in this case. Those climatologists claim that
atmospheric CO2 concentration is major (or even main) cause for greenhouse
effect, yet CO2 has twenty times smaller(!) heat capacity compared to
atmospheric water at current concentrations.
