Why do you assume that it can not be proven incorrect?

Is that what you think I'm saying?

It may be hard to prove incorrect. There hasn't been much of an effort in my experience. Not the same thing.

A lot of effort has been put into trying to rule out AGW. The problem is everyone who has tried seriously has failed to do so. If any of the things I listed were found to be true then the AGW theory would be false.

So, let me try to understand your position.

You don´t think that it is incorrect because nobody has tried too hard to prove it incorrect?
