There is no “proof” in science; only degrees of “failure to disprove”. That’s an important difference.

“There is no “proof” in science; only degrees of “failure to disprove”. That’s an important difference.”

Well stated and absolutely correct. Pseudo Science is science by induction. That is, conclusions based upon supporting evidence. This seems reasonable to most people, but the problem is that one can produce a truckload of evidence to support virtually any hypothesis. Real science demands that the hypothesis be tested by offering some observable prediction. If the observation is contrary to the prediction, the hypothesis fails.

The entire ‘science’ of Global Warming is based on Pseudo Science. It is all about supporting evidence, while hiding or ignoring all of its failures.
