I have a significant degree of confidence in the hard sciences. Meterology resides under the umbrella of the hard science of the physics department.
Meterology is a hard science.

Climate science is it's own discipline; outside of the physics dept (where it belongs). Climate science does not fall under the umbrella of the physics department. Climate science deals with their own set of esoteric "climate models".

They closely guard access to their "climate" models, and "climate" data, to avoid academic scrutiny. This prevents academic review by interested parties in other hard science disciplines.

Climate science is a distant coisin of economics, or sociology.

Climate science is not a hard science.

So basically, you randomly picked one specific field and chose to believe the fossil fuel industry's narrative over the scientists. And to defend this you invented some categories you call "the physics dept" and "hard science" whatever they mean.

They closely guard access to their "climate" models, and "climate" data

No they don't, a lot of it is even publicly available for download, in some cases you need to make agreements with the institution to get it or you may have to pay, but it is quite readily available. Don't trust people who say it isn't. The problem for someone like you is that the data is humongous (many Tb big) and very hard to analyze, that's why I wondered how you analyzed it. Unfortunately you mentioned a couple of small desktop statistics programs that are mostly used by students (used to be as they're not used much anymore). There's no way you could estimate a climate model on a desktop computer.

I selected the most relevant feild for comparison with bogus climate modeling nonsense.

Meterology resides within the physics discipline.

Meteorologists are physicists.

Not following you completely, are you saying that the video you posted is an example of bogus climate research? I agree it's full of obvious bogus claims but it doesn't represent climate research.
