"On the other hand, things like climate science seem (to me at least) to rely much more on the argument from authority for gaining lay support."
Have you looked at any of the actual research? It sounds more like you're criticizing the very pseudo-science that the climate science community is battling.
The actual researchers are using a combination of meteorological models, telemetry (if you've seen the film "Twister" you've seen a Hollywood-ized version of an actual piece of science in their flock of birds), and empirical observational evidence (e.g. presented in "Planet Ice").
A lot of organizations that fund a lot of the climate research, including NOAA, have been going to great lengths to stifle it and obfuscate the actual message that they send out to the public.
