What is "hard science" Is that when one gives up objectivity and takes a hard stance? I thought that was antithetical to real science.
Ahhh...what a moronic misinterpretation.....ignorant as well as stupid, I see. Too stupid to use google too, I guess, even when you admit to not understanding the terminology. LOLOL. So typical of clueless denier cultists like you.
Hard and soft science
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hard science and soft science are colloquial terms often used when comparing fields of academic research or scholarship, with hard meaning perceived as being more scientific, rigorous, or accurate. Fields of the natural, physical, and computing sciences are often described as hard, while the social sciences and similar fields are often described as soft.[1] The hard sciences are characterized as relying on experimental, empirical, quantifiable data, relying on the scientific method, and focusing on accuracy and objectivity.
The outline of 'hard science' is a very good description of modern climate science.

Hmmm, I wonder where a "science" that relys(sic) on computer modelling sits?
I guess reading comprehension is just not your strong suit, walleyed. Actually I think it is 'comprehension' itself that gives you problems. Anyway, if you had been able to understand the quote from wiki, you would have (maybe) noticed that it specifically said....
"Fields of the natural, physical, and computing sciences are often described as hard"
Beyond that, your denier cult delusion that climate science is based ("relys"(sic) LOL) only on computer models is another amusing and typical error. Climate science, like most other hard sciences, uses computer models in conjunction with a wide variety of other kinds of scientific research which involves gathering evidence and data directly from the physical world. This direct physical evidence and instrumental and observational data are the main scientific support for the validity of the theory of anthropogenic global warming/climate changes. The computer models are useful in a variety of ways but the scientific basis for AGW does not rest on them alone.....in spite of the simplistic and simple minded myths you and your equally ignorant ilk have been bamboozled into believing.
