Exactly.

A guess is an unproven theory! And nothing is absolute in science.

I would trust the AWG theory more if scientists would be honest and admit that they really don’t know for certain because they can’t.

And then, do we want create an economic hardship on middle class Americans for something that is an unproven theory.

Be honest with us!

>>A guess is an unproven theory! And nothing is absolute in science.<<

The problem with the term “Scientific Theory” is that it is conflated with the general term “theory.”

Most people think there is a hierarchy of science concept:

Guess->Hypothesis->Theory->Law->Axiom

That is NOT how science works.

A Scientific Theory is a tool that is used that accurately describes the mechanisms of phenomena in the physical universe.

For example there is the observed “law “of Gravity.

But there is also the Scientific Theory of Gravity. The Scientific Theory attempts to explain HOW and WHY Gravity works. That theory is one of the newest and least defined in all of science although the law is probably one of the best known and oldest.

The “theory” of AGW is NOT a Scientific Theory as it meets NONE of the criteria for one.
