HADLEY EMAILS DON'T 'PROVE' GLOBAL WARMING A CROCK
Why are we calling AGW a theory? Isn't AGW a hypothesis?
After all, a scientific hypothesis is a proposed explanation for an observable phenomenon and the scientific method requires that one can test it.
While a scientific theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world, based on a body of facts that have been repeatedly confirmed through observation and experiment. Such fact-supported theories are not "guesses" but reliable accounts of the real world.
AGW doesn't seem to fit the definition of a scientific theory as it does not provide a well-substantiated explanation, based on a body facts that are repeatedly confirmed through observation and experiment.
