    Of course one person has done the footwork and has shown that extreme weather events are not statistically increasing over time and of course is shunned by the AGW cult and called a denier.

    First, if there's evidence that a prediction is wrong then you have no choice but to change your prediction. To not do so is stupid. Correct me if I'm wrong, but your statement is implying that a scientists should formulate one and only one hypothesis and stick to it until the end of time even if all of the evidence points to it being wrong. Is that really what you're advocating here?

    Second, which prediction have I or the scientific consensus changed?

    Which failed hypothesis?

    Is it one you made up so that you can tear it down or is it one that has a broad consensus on it being true?

    It's the one that the so called concensus keeps keeps altering to meet what's actually happening as their computer models and predictions fail like dominoes falling. Feel free to believe it if you want and I have no desire to disengage you from your beliefs. The question is why do you care what I believe so much and what is your reason for trying so hard to convince me you are right?

    I can't read your mind. Wouldn't this line of conversation be easier if you just told me which prediction you are talking about?

    Sorry. I still have no idea what you're talking about. Are you talking about computer model projections of the global mean surface temperature?

    the irony you fail to see is that you're the one who is a cultist, you've taken the cult of self induced scientific ignorance to another level...

    None of those are predictions or hypothesis supported by the consensus of the scientific community. Some of them aren't even climate predictions. Others have been been completely misinterpreted. And some aren't even from scientists at all. The fact is there isn't a single prediction in that article that is contained in the IPCC AR5 report as it was reported in that article.

    Let me be precise here. I'm requesting a prediction that has been accepted by the consensus of the scientific community as having merit and validity and which has also failed. If AGW is such a big failure then you should be able to provide multiple examples that are widely accepted by scientists right off the top of your head.
