If it’s not falsifiable, it’s not science.

I’ve said this before (e.g., here and here), and John Pepple says so too.

Quite a few skeptics have pointed out that nothing seems to count against global warming. When it’s hot, the true believers in global warming take that as evidence for their theory, but when it’s cold that doesn’t count as evidence against their theory. In fact, they often say that the cold weather simply shows how global warming is upsetting things, leading to blizzards, etc. Apparently, global warming is an unfalsifiable theory.
