Wharfie,
Climate change is physics
Everything is ultimately physics. This is a meaningless statement.

I can make one transistor work and call it physics. But when I put 10 billion transistors into a computer chip, the way to ensure that all 10B transistors work together without crashing is a whole different ballgame.

Same thing with the "physics" of climate change. You can create a model of the greenhouse effect in a laboratory and call it physics. But when you extend that to the ecosystem of an entire planet, there's no good way to predict how a one degree variance in temperature is going to cause such catastrophic consequences. Again, that's a whole different ballgame.
