    AND , once again, we have the comnpletely scinetifically ignorant Leftninnies posting the same old OPINION PIECE from an "EVOLUTIONARY PSYCHOLOGIST" about SCIENTIFIC PROOF. A guy who is a JOKE among hs peers, at that.
    As if.

    As Newton demonstrated, anything PROVEN via repeated results, BECOMES SCEINTIFIC FACT, UNITL IT CAN BE DISPROVEN.
    I'll take Isaac Newton's principles of Scientific Method over some nobody "Evolutionary Psychologist" who kows SQUAT about scientific method, thank you.


    Thanks for jumping up and trumpeting your complete ignorance of what comprises actual science, once again.

    "Evolutionary Psychologist"? Hilarious, in its stupidity...here is your Chosen Declarer of the Non-Existence of Scientific Proof being taken to task by Psychology Today,and expsoed as nothing more than a JOKE:

    Once again, please DISPROVE that the SPEED OF SOUND IS 740mph.

    or that rust on ferrous products is oxidation,

    or that penicillin ruptures the cell wall of the bacteria that it kills,

    etc., ad nauseum.

    There is a WORLD OF SCIENTIFIC PROOF; the Warmist Religion just isn't part of it, which is why you are all so desperate to pretend that it doesn't exist.

    Buncha dolts....

    You've already, many times, demonstrated your total ignorance of science so it is ludicrous for you to pretend that you understand the terminology of science better than actual scientists.

    There is no "proof" in science -- that is a property of mathematics. In science, what matters is the balance of evidence, and theories that can explain that evidence. Where possible, scientists make predictions and design experiments to confirm, modify, or contradict their theories, and must modify these theories as new information comes in. Scientific theories have various degrees of reliability and one can think of them as being on a scale of certainty. Up near the top end we have our theory of gravitation based on a staggering amount of evidence. But since we can never know whether or not some new evidence might come in that would force us to modify our theory, the theory can never be said to be "proven". It is simply our best understanding of the matter based on the currently available evidence.

    The theory of anthropogenic global warming is based on overwhelming evidence gathered by tens of thousands of scientists over many decades. It is not "proven" but it is the world scientific community's best understanding of the actual evidence.

    2010 is the warmest year on record, following the three successively warmest decades on record.

    National heat records set in 2010
    The year 2010 now has the most national extreme heat records for a single year--seventeen. The year 2008 is in second place, with fifteen.

    National cold records set in 2010
    No nations set records for their coldest temperature in history in 2010.

    If you believe this information is false then prove it. Cite actual weather records from a believable source that shows any nation on Earth setting a new record for coldest temperatures in 2010. If you can't do that, then you're just blowing smoke.

    "... in science there is no 'knowledge', in the sense in which Plato and Aristotle understood the word, in the sense which implies finality; in science, we never have sufficient reason for the belief that we have attained the truth. ... This view means, furthermore, that we have no proofs in science (excepting, of course, pure mathematics and logic). In the empirical sciences, which alone can furnish us with information about the world we live in, proofs do not occur, if we mean by 'proof' an argument which establishes once and for ever the truth of a theory."

    - Sir Karl Popper, The Problem of Induction, 1953


    "If you thought that science was certain — well, that is just an error on your part."

    - Richard Feynman (1918-1988 ).


    "A religious creed differs from a scientific theory in claiming to embody eternal and absolutely certain truth, whereas science is always tentative, expecting that modification in its present theories will sooner or later be found necessary, and aware that its method is one which is logically incapable of arriving at a complete and final demonstration."

    - Bertrand Russell, Grounds of Conflict, Religion and Science, 1953.


    "It is the aim of science to establish general rules which determine the reciprocal connection of objects and events in time and space. For these rules, or laws of nature, absolutely general validity is required — not proven."

    - Albert Einstein, in Science, Philosophy and Religion, A Symposium, 1941.

    So we should take the scrubbers off the coal fired plants, and presto no more warming.
