The earliest, made by a Swede named Svante Arrhenius in 1897, was simply that the Earth would heat up in response to emissions. That has been proved: The global average temperature has risen more than 1 degree Celsius, or almost 2 degrees Fahrenheit, a substantial change for a whole planet.

The planet has "warmed" since major league baseball was integrated. For the sake of mankind, action must be taken immediately! Mebbe it wouldn't be too big a risk to wait until after the World Series (latin players pose a real, but smaller risk - 97% of morons agree).

That the temperature rose by 1 degree is not a validation of his hypothesis that emissions would cause warming. There could be any number of causes. He just happened to guess the outcome.

Very scientific.
