Psychology and sociology are soft sciences (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_and_soft_science) but sciences nonetheless.
Ah, yes.
Soft sciences, or more accurately,
pseudosciences. Unprovable, no predictive value, but a great opportunity for some people to make a living from Other People's Money without accountability. Getting a PhD in a "soft science" is like getting a license to steal.
This assertion of yours is quite wrong on many fronts. Climate is not what happens to the weather 30 days from now; it is the trends in weather-related observations over long periods of thirty years or more.
Redefining a word to suit your purposes does not make it correct. It makes you disingenuous. Again, I refer you to the progressive use of "gender". I can describe the climate on the Great Plains
today. With much less precision, I could describe the climate on the Great Plains 100 years ago on this date, and with equal imprecision I could predict the climate of the Great Plains 100 years from today.
But
climate does not exist, physically. It is a
concept which selectively describes arbitrarily chosen weather conditions in an arbitrarily chosen area, over an arbitrarily chosen period of time. Because it has four variables (one
selective and three
arbitraries, not counting the biases and assumptions added to the computer models), it can not even be said to be real in an
objective sense- which makes it merely
subjective, like emotions.
So, although you called it "hard science", climatology is ultimately on a footing with pseudosciences like sociology and mesmerism. I'd say that I wouldn't be surprised if people 100 years from now laugh at "climatology" the way we laugh at medicinal leeches today; but I will be dead, so I will not be able to be surprised.
In closing: You may not have noticed, but no matter what happens with the real world, your side declares that ever-increasing government control of free men and women is needed to save Mother Gaea from us eeevil planet-raping humans. Because "climate science" is, at its end, an emotional demand for total government control of free will, it is not science at all, but politics-
your politics, specifically.
Of course climate changes. Seasons change, people change (hat tip to
Expose'). That's nature. Adapt yourself to it, or die.
The People rest.
And now for a musical interlude.
