But in the case of QM, either the crazy stuff is wrong- repeated experiments falsify it, no gadget can be built on the principle; or it is "not even wrong", i.e., irrelevant. But many of the climate change findings are either predictions with a timespan of several years or decades, or historical explanations (this and this happened because of climate change). The first type can only be put to test years from now, the second type never.
