I guess I could be “more scientific” and enlist Mann, Jones, Hansen and Gore to come to your rescue. They are especially expert at creating conclusions without facts or data to back them up .... sort of like the snake oil salesmen of days long ago.
Such skeptopathic scientists like Jones were discredited long ago. For instance, Jones was invited to partake of his famous “cup of tea” at mutiple LENR demonstrations but he declines because he would be easily and quickly proven wrong.
Actually, your analogy is precisely backwards...Mann, Jones, Gore (and many other AGW pushers) are doing precisely what the LENR denialists are.......pushing results based on theory rather than on experiment.
And theirs is not even a decent theory. Freeman Dyson put it this way....the AGW types are basing all their theories on simplistic physics (light absorption, reflection, etc) while totally ignoring any effect of the biosphere. Many, many biological processes effect, for instance, cloud formation.
Suggest you read up on the EXPERIMENTAL results of LENR.
