    Now you're moving the goal posts. I said "God", not a specific "God". And you're reasoning still fails. Something can exist even if the arbitrary characteristics that someone attributes to it are wrong.

    That's your reasoning. I'm sorry if it has been shown as weak and you're embarrassed, but it's not my problem.

    "We"? Who are you attempting to elevate your position to, now? Al Gore? So "rstones199 of the internet" and "Al Gore" are a dynamic duo on this issue?

    No one is interested in trying to prove the climate doesn't change. Everyone knows that the climate is in a constant state of change.

    We are simply skeptical of the people who tell us they can control the rate of change in the climate of a planet whipping through space at 60,000 mph around a 20,000,000 degree star while spinning.

    We don't deny "change," we question the god like abilities of liberals to control the climate. So, in conclusion, we will fight to stop you from destroying our economy. Even if it means we will be called names.

    No, you are moving goal posts. When people speak of 'God' is it the Hebrew god Yahweh that people are speaking of.. Perhaps you should be more specific in the future then. Yes, you cannot prove that a 'god' does not exist, but I can prove Yahweh.

    Yes, because it shows the thing you are giving attributes is imaginary.

    Man made climate change, not climate change.

    Step up to the plate and prove that the climate is not changing from man made actions and that the warming going in is natural.

    Almost half of the posts on this thread are discussing ways in which "global warming" is factually incorrect, using graphs and citing scientific evidence.

    You haven't responded to any of these posts. Coincidence? I think not.

    I'm not the one offering up 10K to disprove AGW am I?

    I don't think you're in a position to determine what "people are speaking of" when referring to "God". God is a concept to many people, and it's not just limited to the God of Yahweh. You literally just made that up.

    Your lack of response is noted.

    How can this guy be a physicist and know nothing at all about the scientific method? Smells like rat.

    What kind of people think that "Mankind" can't improve or trash our world? Pathetic helpless-ness or simply lazy self-servings denial.

    "God-like" abilities are not required to have these 7 BILLION people change EVERY part of the earth, and we have plenty examples of what we see effects of our world.

    No; you presented the argument by creating the thread, though. It would be in your best interest to back these claims up with evidence of your own.

    Ummmmm....the thread is about a Physicist who offered $10,000 to anyone who can disprove AGW.

    It would be in your best interest to actually read the opening post :roll:

    I'll give this guy 10k if he can PROVE AGW concretely. I bet he wouldn't take the offer because he can't.

    I'm sure such an educated man knows you can't prove a negative. His money is safe.

    Perhaps you should email him and see if he'll take you up on your offer?

    He won't because it can't be solidly proven.

    Which is precisely his point, no doubt. FUD != fact.

    I already went to his site and told him if he couldn't produce evidence that 120PPM increase drives climate, he owes me 10k and he hasn't responded. hmmmm.... maybe he isn't sincere. Because I know one thing, there is no proof. So the mere fact there is no proof, means I proved the skeptic's point. get it?

    To PROVE it requires a falsifiable experiment. None has yet been executed.

    Based on your rationale, you now owe him $10,000. Congratulations!

    You don't disprove it, you need to prove it. Can he disprove magic beans?
