Real scientists would not be baffled. When a theory cannot be supported by experiments and observations the conclusion is the theory was flawed and it is rejected. That is the true scientific method. Man caused global warming however is a dogma not a scientific theory and despite all the evidence to the contrary global warming cultists will cling to this dogma calling those who do not agree heretics or deniers. This is exactly the situation experienced by Galileo. The Church and its Inquisition supported a dogma of an unmoving earth at the center of the universe with the sun, moon, planets and stars orbiting around the earth. When Galileo demonstrated by observations with his telescope that the sun not the earth is the center of our universe with the earth and planets revolving about it. Galileo was hauled before the Inquisition and forced to recant his theory even though by scientific method it was correct.

Woa, woa, woe there bud,
not so fast...

Just b/c it appears the Sun is the center of our solar system 2 things still remain:

a. Michelson-Morley experiments could find no solar wind and no one has repeated these experiments afaik. But even Einstein said both sun-centered and Earth-centered solar systems are supported by the math. Earth centered just makes he math much more complicated - heck I get dizzy just thinking about it - pun intended.

b. We could very well be the center of the universe! In fact it make the big bang and Einstein’s gravitational time dilation and relativity much more palatable for true believers.

Lastly though it could just be that we, mankind, are the central primary focus and attention of God. Afterall, He did say [and show somewhat] that we are created in His image.
