How would you know, since you do not believe in science?Take the most basic general science class you can find, and find out.
Probably 90% of my college education was science. I've spent the last 30 years working in naval research & development.
How about you Koos? How much science education have you had? How much science do you use in your typical day?
ps: have you figured out what to do with that source code and those data files yet? I'm on the edge of my seat in anticipation.
Maybe you could make a comment with some significance. If you want to babble, speak to your children.
Physicist Offers $10,000 To Anyone Who Can Disprove Climate Change
Physicist Offers $10,000 To Anyone Who Can Disprove Climate Change | ThinkProgress
When not refuting the 97 percent of scientists who believe in human-caused global warming, climate change deniers often draw upon the conspiracy that it’s is a fabricated theory invented by those in a position to gain financially or otherwise from efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. A Texas-based physicist is turning that notion on its head by offering $10,000 of his own money to anyone who can disprove mainstream, accepted climate science.
Dr. Christopher Keating, a physicist who has taught at the University of South Dakota and the U.S. Naval Academy, says in his blog post that the rules are easy: there is no entry fee, participants must be over 18, and the scientific method must be employed.
“Deniers actively claim that science is on their side and there is no proof of man-made climate change,” Keating told the College Fix by email. “You would think that if it was really as easy as the deniers claim that someone, somewhere would do it.”
Keating is planning to post entries on his blog along with comments. He is willing to field a wide array of submissions and is also offering $1,000 to anyone that can provide any scientific evidence at all that climate change isn’t real. “They are even free to find proof on the Internet and cut and paste it,” he said.
Keating is the author of the recent book “Undeniable: Dialogues on Global Warming,” which employs a Socratic-style discussion between three friends over email in a climate change polemic.

Get to work, deniers.
Now these K00ks want people to prove a negative.
Trivial to do. I can easily prove there are no elephants in my living room. Only the logically deficient -- that is, nearly every denier -- say you can't prove a negative.
It is on those who assert that need to provide proof of claim.
Done and done, over and over. That's why the burden of proof is on you now, just as it's on anyone who would want to deny gravity or the round earth theory. So, do it, and collect your easy cash.
MIAMI, Florida (CNN) -- Defying predictions, the 2006 Atlantic hurricane season ended with a whimper rather than a bang on Thursday, without a single hurricane hitting U.S. shores.
Only three tropical storms made landfall, a welcome relief from the previous two years, when nearly a dozen hurricanes battered the country.
The sense of quiet was relative. Although 2006 might have seemed tame compared with the devastation of 2004 and 2005, the season's totals -- nine named storms, five hurricanes, two of them major -- were actually right at the historical average for the past 150 years, according to data from the National Hurricane Center.
This year's tropical activity fell well short of predictions made at the beginning of the season that called for an above-average number of storms -- although not as many as last year's record-shattering season of 28 named storms.
There are numerous ways to falsify AGW. I've listed several before. Let's see:
1) Show that humans have not produced significant amounts of greenhouse gases.
) Show that the greenhouse effect is not real - that greenhouse gases do not trap infrared
) ) Show that the AMOUNT of infrared that greenhouse gases trap is grossly inadequate to have caused the observed warming
) ) Show that the incoming and outgoing radiation at the ToA are equal - that there is no imbalance
) ) Show that the world's temperature has not increased significantly since the start of the Industrial Revolution.
) ) Show that there is no overlap between the frequencies of IR absorbed by CO2 and that radiated by the warmed Earth
) ) Show that the frequencies of IR absorbed by CO2 are also absorbed by water vapor and thus there's simply no energy left for the CO2 to affect
) ANY of these points would falsify AGW. And I bet you've heard almost every one of these presented here by one denier or another. So why hasn't anyone picked up the $10G?
There are numerous ways to falsify AGW. I've listed several before. Let's see:
1) Show that humans have not produced significant amounts of greenhouse gases.
You must first prove that increased CO2 causes warming. CO2 has increased steadily for damned near the past 20 years and the climate hasn't warmed...in fact, it may have cooled a bit.
Show that the greenhouse effect is not real - that greenhouse gases do not trap infrared
So called greenhouse gasses absorb and emit...that is neither trapping and doesn't cause warming. Quantify the greenhouse effect, show actual observed measurements of it in the atmosphere.
Show that any IR is being trapped.
TOA measurements show that outgoing long wave is increasing.
..absorption and emission do not equal trapping...and do not equal warming.
There has been no warming now for almost 2 decades and perhaps some cooling while CO2 has increased...LW escaping at the TOA is increasing which coincides with the cooling over the past 2 decades
The temperature has a been increasing for 14K years....the industrial revolution coincides with that increase.
Most of the 20th century warming happened prior to 1940 when CO2 levels were "safe"
Prove that absorption and emission equal warming.
Show that the frequencies of IR absorbed by CO2 are also absorbed by water vapor and thus there's simply no energy left for the CO2 to affect
Show that absorption and emission cause warming...quantify the so called greenhouse effect, and provide some actual atmospheric measurements.
ANY of these points would falsify AGW. And I bet you've heard almost every one of these presented here by one denier or another. So why hasn't anyone picked up the $10G?
They are all false and yet, you believe. Are you stupid?

Get to work, deniers.
Wow even more hack scientists. It really is time to take these people down and have them removed and never be allowed to call themselves scientists.
Just like James Hansen is a Hack and should never been allowed to teach anything that was related to science.

Fortunately, ignorant asses like you do not get to decide who is and is not a scientist. Those of us that actually see scientists in universities on a daily basis from Sept. to June find that virtually all accept AGW as valid on the basis of evidence.
You 'Conservatives' keep flap-yapping about this scientist or that one, completely ignoring that within the scientific community, there is no debate at all as to whether the GHGs that we create are changing the climate. A scientific community that is worldwide. You can post silly tirades denigrating Dr. Hansen and Dr. Mann all you want, they are not noticed or considired relevent by anyone within the scientific community. Both men have international stature as scientists, considered leaders in their respective fields. And you and I are but posters on a board not relevant to the science involved in the study of the ongoing climate change.
The Carbon Dioxide Greenhouse Effect
Actually you can't. Perhaps someone can corroborate that there are no elephants in your living room but you can't actually prove it.
