Theory: a formulation of apparent relationships or underlying principles of certain observed phenomena which has been verified to some degree. OK, this seems to fit well. And I'll concede that proof is not the right word in my previous post. Fact would be more like it. I don't doubt that there's enough data for some degree of verification, but that doesn't rise to the level of fact. Let's remember that professional scientists are as human as the rest of us, and as vulnerable to consensus and predjudice. And no diversion was intended. While one truth does not drive out another, one may certainly have more relevance and more demonstrable effect. Untill I see more factual (empirical if you like) evidence, I won't rush to bark up the wrong tree. Best Wishes............Dave Just curious: what would you consider convincing evidence? So what do people think? Is it time for me to give up waiting for an answer to this question...again? -- Coby Beck (remove #\Space "coby 101 @ bigpond . com") |

You reject all the data from all the scientific institutions specializing in atmosphere ocean and climate, you reject the opinions of institutions like NASA GISS, NOAA, BAS, EPA, NAS etc etc and glibly demand proof. I'm just asking you, what is missing? What would you accept as "the smoking gun" of findings? Do you need proof that the CO2 increase is anthropogenic? That the temperature is rising? That is rising at an unatural rate? That it is higher now than in thousands of years? That CO2 absorbs IR radiation? That ancient ice is melting around the globe? That ocean temperatures are rising? That CO2 in the ocean is rising? That in the ancient past massive influxes of GHG shot the temperature up for a hundred thousand years? Would all of that convince you? -- Coby Beck (remove #\Space "coby 101 @ bigpond . com") And if I could come up with a great proof of what is causing global warming, I would be cashing large grant money checks. |
