Climate Change and YSSY crosswinds?

When does a hypothesis become a fact? About the time 97% of the world’s scientists (and 100% of the credible ones) are saying it I believe.

Not at all. You don’t really believe that do you Dre?

A fact is a thing that is known to be consistent with objective reality and can be proven to be true with evidence. For example, "this sentence contains words" is a linguistic fact, and "the sun is a star" is a cosmological fact. Further, "Abraham Lincoln was the 16th President of the United States" and "Abraham Lincoln was assassinated" are also both facts, of the historical type. All of these statements have the epistemic quality of being "ontologically superior" to opinion or interpretation
