Climate change is not like string theory
Not every scientific problem has to be like the String theory, a physics theory which due to the enormous energy required to test the theory experimentally, that started as abstract physical theory which could later be tested with the ultra high energy machines. The Hadron collider at Cern did test the standard theory of unification, finding the Higgs boson.
Are you saying the problems in chemistry or biology should be like the string theory?
Climate science is based on observations and critical test of their various hypotheses. I am not qualified to judge their result. But like you I can carefully discern whom I can trust and can listen to. It is definitely not the politicians, especially the Republicans with conflict of interest (due to connection to the energy industry). It is the scientists who conducted the careful studies and reported their findings in the peer reviewed journals like Science or Nature or any other reputed scientific journals.

"Climate change is not like string theory"
I know. It's 19th Century physics.

How about 1.51 degrees C increase since coming into the Industrial Age?
