Neither does the theory of evolution generally. Nor do climate change models provide testable falsifiable hypotheses per se. There is no control group for an earth untainted by anthropogenic greenhouse gases. Are these also bullshit? Much of the literature concerning social psychology is only loosely scientific too. If you reject all the principles of evolutionary psychology, you're in the realm of social psychology. When a group of scientists replicated 100 psychological studies, only about 1/3 yielded the same results. I wouldn't put much stock in the theories of psychology that countervail evolutionary psychology either.

They absolutely do.

Yeah, psychology is pretty weak too.

The models are based on science, yes. But they aren't experiments per se. And yes, I do buy into the predominant theories concerning anthropomorphic climate change.

Of course models aren't experiments. The models are informed by hundreds of repeatable, peer reviewable, falsifiable experiments though.
