Man-made global warming: defying science
"To investigate the premise of AGW, a climate scientist would set about testing a complex hypothesis containing three conjectures, each of which must be proven to be true:
• global warming has occurred by a statistically significant amount
• global warming has been caused by man’s activities
• to the extent which global warming has occurred, or is reasonably projected to occur in the future, it will adversely affect life on earth
If any one of these three conjectures cannot be proven to be true, then the complex hypothesis must be declared false and discarded.â€

Unless -- apparently -- you're a True Believer. Then the belief is enough.

Now words mean exactly what they choose them to mean - neither less nor more.
