Mr. Bradford, are there any set of events or conditions that could disprove global-warming/climate-change?
Or do all events and conditions prove it?

Bradford Plumer is an associate editor at The New Republic.
And is not, as far as I can tell, qualified to make any judgment whatsoever about the validity of AGW. Many of the folks who do dispute it's validity have far better qualifications than "associate editor at The New Republic".

And, within the Republican Party, the belief that global warming is a made-up non-problem has become thoroughly ingrainedso much so that its no longer even worth justifying or debating.Thank God THAT'S over with! It kills me that idiots like this guy think Algore is a god when it comes to Global Warming but he has no education! They constantly beat down Sarah but their boy Al throws some crap together about things he has absolutely no clue about and they all worship him.
Maybe now Plumer can do his part and just hold his breath.

Gotta love it when a pinheaded associate editor at The New Republic decides to give us a “science” lesson. ROTFL!

Brad, I suppose the science with regards to Human Beings being responsible for GLOBAL WARMING is so concrete and absolute, that you would have no problem getting these scientists to declare that there will NEVER BE ANOTHER ICE AGE ON THIS PLANET again, please have it put in writing under Penalty of Perjury, I will personally pay for the Notary Service. Then and only then can we talk. You might want to talk to the 10,000 scientists that say this is all BUNK also.
,ps You should put the crack pipe down before you go ask them to do this.

"...Upton called climate change a serious problem..."
Upton's an idiot who doesn't get that Americans do not need the gov't to regulate the technology used in their freakin' light bulbs of choice.

“The skeptic explains how, once upon a time, he, too, blindly accepted everything climatologists have to say about how human activity is heating the planet. But then, as he began to pore over the evidence, the holes in the theory became readily apparent, and, more in sorrow than anger, the skeptic had to conclude that the scientific consensus was mistaken.”

Never mind that three separate investigations have cleared East Anglia researchers of any wrongdoing.You could have a hundred investigations say that there was no wrongdoing, but we READ THE EMAILS OURSELVES.

The Warmers revealed themselves as dupes & scammers when they changed their pitch from “global warming” to “climate change”.
The phrase “climate change” implies that they don't know what the climate will do. They just don't want it to change. That's fine for Californians, but Canadians & Siberians might prefer a little warmer climate.

Funny. That’s exactly what the left has been trying to accomplish the other way. Cut off debate or discussion. But it’s a contemptible act if someone other than them does it.

There is some dispute, as you obviously well know, about how much human generated greenhouse gases affect the environment, so I'll leave that to others.
But even if one were to accept that human generated greenhouse gases will contribute to global warning, the question still remains what our best response should be. Economist Bjorn Lomborg discusses how top economists from around the world met for a conference discussing various world problems, what responses we could make and then prioritized things to see where we would get the most bang for the buck. With respect to climate change, they used the numbers given by the mainstream climatologists. Interestingly, reducing greenhouse gases came in last place as to the best ways to spend the money world governments are likely to allocate. He gives a lot more detail in this short talk you can watch online:
http://www.ted.com/talks/bjorn_lomborg_sets_global_priorities.html
Another issue is that the earth's weather has changed significantly over time even before man ever came on the picture, and there is no reason to think that variability would not continue regardless of what steps man takes to minimize his impact upon the weather. For instance a number of scientists are worrying that a much bigger factor in our weather could be setting us up for yet another catastrophic shift in our weather quite independent of global warming. Here's one such story that discusses some of what other publications and the scientists they've been interviewing & quoting have been writing about this phenomenon:
Magnetic Polar Shifts Causing Massive Global Superstorms
Then too, we shouldn't ignore the hypothesis of the Wall Street Journal that we're better off maintaining a healthy economy with the resources to minimize the deaths, injuries and property damage of various catastrophies than in trying toalter our behavior in the hopes in will minimize our impact on the weather, if that in turn cripples our economy and ability to deal with such inevitable tragedies:
