"It's laughable, of course. But really, it's more sad. Anthropogenic global warming is a proven fact, just like evolution. Deny them all you want, but don't expect anyone with credentials to pay any attention to your ignorant raving."<br> Under the scientific method, a theory is just that--a theory. An overwhelming amount of evidence supports the theory of evolution, and therefore it is widely accepted (including by me), but if a data point is found that conflicts with the theory, then the theory must be modified or discarded. BTW, the theory of evolution has been so modified numerous times.<br> The theory of anthropogenic warming seems to me to be mostly supported by supposition and assumption. I do not have an opinion about the validity of this theory, and I probably spend more time than I should researching the data. The theory rests on two huge assumptions with little supporting data:<br> a) That the increase in atmospheric CO2 is primarily due to man's activities, and<br> b) that the increase in CO2 is the principle cause of the warming observed over the last hundred years.<br> <br> It is an interesting theory, but I can generate an equally plausible theory that the warming started first and resulted in increased natural generation of CO2 through accelerated decomposition--which btw fits the meterological and ice core data better. In any event, to declare anthropogenic warming 'a proven fact' demonstrates a profound ignorance of science. It is hysterical when those who want to test the theory are accused of being anti-science, when the GW alarmists are the ones that claim a supposed consensus (which doesn't exist) establishes a proven fact. You can't get much more anti-science than that.
