Here is my formal submission, via the scientific process.
1. Have humans not caused climate change on planet earth?
2. Indisputable research is not available that shows that humans have caused climate change.
3. Hypothesis – humans have not caused climate change due to the lack of evidence that all scientist agree on.
4. Test – able to verify that not all scientists agree that humans have caused climate change. See Wiki list of “List of scientists opposing the mainstream scientific assessment of global warming”.
5. Data shows that climate change via human activity is a hypothesis and therefore is not regarded as scientific fact. Therefore, climate change cannot be proven to be caused by humans - the resulting conclusion has to be that humans have not caused climate change.
6. Process of elimination shows that humans have not caused climate change due to the lack of indisputable evidence that humans have caused climate change.
Response
#1. That is a question, but I don't see the point, or the answer.
#2. Indisputable research is most certainly available. The reason I made the challenge is because the science is indisputable. I provided a venue for people who claim they can prove man made global warming is not real to do so. So far, no one has come close.
#3. This is a very strange comment. Many of the submitters here have made the claim they have found the flaw and the scientists were all wrong. That is exactly opposite of what you just stated. But, the overwhelming majority of climate scientists (97%, in fact) are convinced by the science that AGW is real. However, either case is irrelevant. Science is not a popularity contest and AGW is real, or not, independent of the opinions and conclusions of people.
#4. Again, irrelevant. Plus, I have seen that list and it is most highly suspect.
#5. Logical fallacy as well as a factual fallacy.
#6. No go. You would not even win brownie points in a logic class for that argument.
You did not prove man made global warming is not real.
