I'm sorry, but I couldn't help but be dry and sarcastic in this post. To dismiss long standing fields of study in favor of a new field which supports a viewpoint you're in favor of is to me the same as refusing to see the forest for the trees.
Climatology is basically a renaming of what used to be Atmospheric Physics, a field that has reputable journals that have been publishing since at least the 1970's.

Geophysics is not Atmospheric physics, and Astrophysics is basically an irrelevant field when considering things that are happening in the atmosphere of the planet we are on.

It's not a matter of smart vs not. No one is saying astrophysicists are stupid. But studying the Earth from the ground downwards or space from above atmosphere to the outer reaches of the universe doesn't qualify one as an expert in discussions on what is going on in the Earth's Atmosphere (namely part of the area located between what those two disciplines study).
