In real science, there's a fairly simple test you apply to any theory...
1. What predictions are made by the theory ?
2. Are the predictions realized ?
It the predictions do pan out, then it is possible, but still not at all certain, that your theory might provide the reason, a reason, or a part of a reason, that explains why... or, it could just be coincidence.
If the predictions don't pan out, then your theory is crap, and you scrap it, and start over... and you don't repeatedly "jiggle the numbers" trying to "fix" or "massage" your data trying it to make it work, to get it to fit what you want it to be, which is science fraud. You also don't lie about what IS being observed, to claim you ARE seeing the predictions you made pan out and be realized when you aren't, just because that proves your theory isn't working ?
Real scientists accept the proofs in the results of experiments... without it causing a crisis in their system of beliefs ? Where we are now... is to the point of the "global warming scientists" continuing to claim THEY'RE right about their failed predictions of warming... an their models are OK... its the PLANET that is wrong ?
Just the fact that you see "scientists" dedicated to "defending the theory" when observations show the predictions don't work... and see them focus on defending the idea, LONG after it has failed the basic tests that define science, instead of accepting they were wrong ? They predicted the climate would become warmer, and warmer, over the last 15 years... and the planet has NOT been getting warmer over that time. Instead, its been getting cooler. They were wrong. Their models are wrong. Their theory is wrong.
They're wrong about the magnitude. They're wrong about the direction. They're wrong about the pattern. They're wrong about the timing.
There is no other lesson to be learned from that, other than that... THEY'RE WRONG.
All that means is that we (including they) don't understand how the climate works, what the drivers of variation are, and what the relationships between ACTUAL drivers (like the sun) and other things (like CO2) are... and we have more work to do to understand those things...
But, they won't accept that... even though the data prove their predictions have failed, meaning they've been proven wrong... And, that means it isn't science that they're talking about... but a desperate brand of FAITH... in some other underlying idea... which the failure of their predictions also proves wrong.
The climate does change. It always has. It always will. Climate change occurring... is proof that things are normal... not proof humans are responsible for causing changes... that have always and will always occur.
That others insist on seeing actual proof of success in the predictions being made, and want to see those predictions ARE are panning out... before accepting the policy implications of theories that these science frauds are trying to foist on them... makes them rational...
If the data showed the planet WAS getting warmer, over the last 15 years... that still might have just been coincidence...
How lucky are we that instead of a result in coincidence... the planet is dramatically proving them wrong ?
Since the data show the planet is NOT getting warmer in that time frame they'd predicted, and it has instead been cooling fairly dramatically, and is continuing to cool... that is a proof their theory is crap.
