The source you linked discussed reproducibility of modeling and analysis of historic data. It makes no mention of the problems responsible for the experimental replication crisis that I'm describing in other fields - it wouldn't make sense to because climate science is not and cannot be experimental. Which makes the science more vulnerable to bias because there is fundamentally no way to prove beyond statistical estimated whether it is right or wrong.

Why do you refuse to admit the possibility that political and social pressures in such a strongly politicized field can bias climate science? All of the ingredients are there, and the only reason such an assertion is contentious is because of these very same political norms. It begins to resemble dogma, when any criticism is treated with such disdain.
