But they won't state what this "theory" is.
What theory are you asking about? A scientific theory is an explanation for some phenomenon. The theory of evolution explains the diversity of life on earth, the big bang theory explains the early stages of the universe. For what are you asking an explanation for?
We have to infer that they are now claiming that a 200PPM increase in CO2 will raise temperature 7 degrees...but of course, they will never say it.
That's a specific prediction of warming rather than a theory. The prediction might be based on theory, but in itself it isn't a theory it's a prediction.
30 years from now, people interviewing real scientists will ask how their universities got duped by the biggest scientific fraud in history and the answer will be "for the money"
More likely the world will be warmer and skeptics will be accepting human greenhouse gas emissions are warming the planet but still resisting doing anything about it. 30 years ago skeptics were questioning whether the world had warmed since 1900. Nowadays skeptics wouldn't ever argue that. The history of this subject has been a slow slide by skeptics towards the mainstream science. I suspect that slide is about to accelerate for skeptics have recently put themselves into a falsifiable hole by loudly proclaiming warming has stopped and we are now facing decades of coming cooling due to the Sun, PDO or otherwise mystical natural cycles. There aren't going to be many skeptics left when temperature continues rising in coming years and the promised cooling never materializes.
