without Experimental Evidence

Tomer Tamarkin

Professor Richard Feynman, Ph.D., and Noble Prize laurate, on Scientific Theories and the MUST need to prove by experiment.

It doesn’t matter how beautiful your theory is, it doesn’t matter how smart you are. If it doesn’t agree with experiment, it’s wrong. In that simple statement is the key to science.

Note that no experimental results support the AGW or global warming theory. None.

Tim adds:

What differentiates Science from Philosophy (or religion) is the rigorous application of the scientific method aka observation and experimentation to provide solid evidence for a theory. There have been all manner of theories over the years, be they the geocentric theory of the cosmos or the theory of the Aether, or the Steady State theory, have all failed due to lack of proper evidence, even while often being quite beautiful. If you can't prove it you have to chuck it. Climate change theory seems elegant to so many but in the end it lacks real-world evidence. There is circumstantial evidence - primarily of a very modest planetary warming which may or may not be caused by carbon dioxide, but in the end they can't seal the deal, despite purging anyone who disagrees from any position of authority in any university or major research organization. So even with putting their porcine thumbs on the scales they can't close the deal here. At what point do scientists finally waive the white flag and admit there isn't proper evidence to support this? They won't because vast sums of money are being poured into this as it benefits the political class immensely.
