Re: The flat earth society

Say Lloyd... that falsfiability issue (see Popper). I'm curious. Is there anything that would shake your faith in global warming, or is your faith beyond the physical world?

Say present cooling trends continue for twenty more years, and global temperature drops well below the 1950s levels... would that do it? How about 100 years of a little ice age? 1,000 years and the planet is frozen solid? Or can Catostrophic Anthropogenic Global Warming simply never be disproven no matter how cold it gets or for how long?

See, normal scientific theories are adopted or discarded based on how well they help predict the natural world... and CAGW ain't doing so hot so far. Month by month, year by year, it's losing credibility. Your may be very patient; the general public is not. A few more years, and there'll be fraud trials.

If only CAGW had some signature, some singular phenomenon that ONLY it could explain... oh it did have one didn't it? Didn't work out, last I heard.

No-one has to prove CAGW wrong. The Earth is doing a fine job on its own. The theory is failing the test of time... and its proponents will become fewer, shriller and more boorish as warming continues to take a well-deserved break.
