What should the role of theory be in understanding climate physics?
Skeptics have decried "book learning" and theory as being unsuitable for understanding climate physics. Instead, skeptics claim that small-scale laboratory experiments are a better way to approach the problem. If that is true, why are the science-based arguments proposed by professional skeptics for the most part based on theoretical arguments or thought experiments? Why, if experimentation is the way to go, are there no professional skeptics actually making measurements?
