If Manmade Global Warming was a done deal and proven, why is over a $Billion still being spent to prove it? I mean how much do we spend to prove the earth is round?
If Manmade Global Warming were a fact how come none of there predictions have come true?


If you BELIEVE in Manmade Global warming then you have less understanding then I do.

You cannot give me one provable fact to support your hypostasis, or a consistent prediction as to the effects of manmade global warming. Do you even know the ‘Scientific Method?

The scientific method is the best way yet discovered for winnowing the truth from lies and delusion. The simple version looks something like this:

1. Observe some aspect of the universe.

2. Invent a tentative description, called a hypothesis, that is consistent with what you have observed.

3. Use the hypothesis to make predictions.

4. Test those predictions by experiments or further observations and modify the hypothesis in the light of your results.

5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until there are no discrepancies between theory and experiment and/or observation.

When consistency is obtained the hypothesis becomes a theory and provides a coherent set of propositions which explain a class of phenomena. A theory is then a framework within which observations are explained and predictions are made.

The environmentalists pushing the 'global warming' myth have never gotten past Step # 2!

Money is being spent to get more precise estimates of its magnitude and figuring out what can be done about it.

They have come true.

You cannot give me one provable fact to support your hypostasis,

Hypostasis? I think you mean hypothesis. Well, here's one provable fact: the earth is warmer now than it has been in about 1,300 years. Here's another provable fact: C02 absorbes UV radiation. Here's another provable fact: CO2 concerntrations in the atmosphere are orders of magnitude higher now than they have been in that same period.

They have, your willful ignorance not withstanding.
