That's not the same thing at all. General relativity makes incredibly precise predictions about very specific phenomena. There have been hundreds of separate natural observational experiments (transit of mercury to gravitational lensing) and plenty of human created ones too (every GPS satellite in orbit).
Global climate science has it even harder than economics as an experimental science - we've got exactly one fully integrated system to observe, and we can't control for any of the variables. We can't re-run the same experiment again. We need to be objective and honest in how we communicate about climate science. Drawing false equivalences just undermines the very real and very urgent discussions we need to be having about climate as a species.
