Observations and models are repeated and challenged far more in climate science than most other fields.
You're kidding, right? Please show your work. [Edit: I saw your correction, and have adjusted my quote above, but my response is still the same: please show your work.]
science does not require every paper to be accurate (in fact, you need a few extremist ideas to try to shake things up).
I quite agree, and I wasn't trying to claim that all, or even most, papers published in other fields are accurate.
Climate science's problem is non scientists misrepresenting, misinterpreting and misunderstanding. The science itself is exactly what you'd want for every scientific field.
I disagree, but I doubt we're going to resolve the question here.
