 Global warming a part of a cycle.  

 

 

 

Since you’ve already stated you think science is fraud, how do you propose to prove that?   

 

Wow this is starting to be like a job...  Look, I don't get research grants so unlike your precious scientists I have to actually work for a living.  So figure it out yourself, I'm busy.

Here we have a classic example of how to craft a tinfoil hat theory.  I’ve seen it used for everything from “proving UFO’s are real” to “proving the moon landing is a hoax”, to “proving the earth is expanding” to “proving the US government was responsible for 9/11”  No matter when you see it, it always takes the same form as windstrike1’s “CO2 isn’t causing the world to warm” argument. 

 

To start off with you invent some alternative, and make it vague in the details. 

 

This theory won’t have any supporting science, but that’s not an impediment because your next you claim is that the accepted science is either wrong or fraudulent, even if it’s just pointing to some meaningless detail.  Making up your own “facts” also works.

 

You then proceed to say that since you have “proved mainstream science is a crock” the only alternative is to accept your completely unsupported statement as fact. 

 

Go spend some time looking into conspiracy theories.  Every single one of them takes this form.

  • moon landings were real
  • The US did not blow up any buildings on 09/11/01
  • Area 51 is just a highly classified experimentation base
  • There is not batboy found in Guatmala
  • Vampires, werewolves, and pixies do not exist
  • Man made global warming does not exist

There is so much documentation on UFO's you would have to be lunatic not to believe.

Guy 1: "GLOBAL WARMING IS NOT MAN MADE"

Guy 2: "Prove it. There's pretty much a scientific consensus saying that it is and there's countless credible sources verifying that it is man made."

You got 5/6!  Pretty good for random guessing!

Of course if you knew what science was and were to find it you would have got 6/6 without braking a sweat so you still fail.
