cxorcist,
I think you missed the point on: "
The only thing I know about man-made global warming is that there ain't no money in denying it!" Of course, the opposite is true, for those doing the denying, anyway.
As for your understanding of "science" (to copy your use of quotation marks, indicating to me your disrespect and/or disbelief in the scientific process), quoted from Skeptic.com:
1. In science, a theory doesn't mean a guess or an opinion.
2. A scientific theory is an established body of knowledge (e.g. germ theory, theory of evolution)
3. Science is a disciplined process for testing hypotheses. It progresses slowly but inexorably as new discoveries build on old ones.
4. Science doesn't claim to have the truth: Science reached provisional conclusions based on the best available evidence and it is always ready to change those conclusions if new, better evidence comes along.
5. Scientific studies are repeated, and they are either confirmed or discredited. A body of evidence gradually accumulates to the point that experts in the field can reach a consensus.
6. Science makes mistakes, but a self-correcting system is in place: It is a collaborative effort, studies are peer-reviewed and scientists scrutinize each others' work.
7. Science can be relied upon to give us knowledge that works and can be used to make accurate predictions.
If you, or anyone, has any new, valid evidence supporting a hypothesis that contradicts any scientific consensus, like the ones about atomic theory or how man-made CO2 emissions are causing global warming, please provide that evidence for testing by the world's scientists of all countries, religions, ages, etc., because they want to make science better. However, that's only for valid evidence, with properly collected and verifiable data and repeatable experimentation, and not opinions, preferences, anecdotes, personal beliefs, ignorant misrepresentations or discredited interpretations (such as junk science).
Bonus Ted Talk, just for you. You're welcome!
