There are certainly specific experiments that have been carried out w.r.t. mechanisms (also true with climate science, fwiw). It's more the overall "big" conclusions that are a bit difficult to replicate in a laboratory, e.g. "the earth is warming as a result of human-caused greenhouse-gas emissions" and "humans descended from other animals through a process of evolution driven by natural selection".
- jeltz 13y agoAny examples of such experiments for climate science? Other than actually predicting climate change and then waiting 30 years I have trouble imagining falsifiable experiments. For evolution you can isolate a couple of populations with short generations in the lab and study them.
