I agree that any proof of theory must be falsifiable as well as fit well
enough to explain the data points and observations that are current to
date; additionally, it needs to make predictions which are testable.
Many of those predictions might be well into the future though, so most
of the current 'proof of concept' re fitting data to such a theory draw
upon weighted ordering of the existing fossil ice record, tree ring
data, sediments and their spacings within undisturbed distributions,
there are more even than I have mentioned. Simple Carbon-14 dating has a
broad range of 'years in question' when used to determine the age of the
specific rings since those interior rings are considered to be 'age
static' with little chance of being concurrently living over the many
years, and any 'breathing impact' happened on those rings sections well
into the past. Plug in these data and those others I have not mentioned
and you can forecast in reverse as it were. This is a small part of what
has been done as you know.
But, you can't just count the rings, examine the width and test the
materials, there is also the impression and experience of that person or
persons making the tree ring 'speak' of the history. There are a lot of
tree rings and a lot of locations throughout the globe already tested
and determinations have been made as to the provenance of the resulting
data. Yet you question these many, many, data points I guess. Are the
many experts and several teams of experts all wrong headed, liars, or
worse?

research for you, or is your mind made up?

Are you asserting there are no data points (or is that there are not
enough), either raw or those data which are processed and weighted by
some normative 'trick', to show global warming is occurring?
I have seen the many posts you have made re global warming, in fact, I
probably have those many years of your posts in my archives or I could
use google groups, if needed, for any research of your opinions and the
few facts you have based that opinion upon.
What I am asking from you is proof rather than your opinions, surely you
are basing those opinions on more than just a few facts; you have facts
which are greater in scope than a few decades worth of winter months
temps in a few cities, right?
Is there any chance lake wind effects might play into temps taken in the
city of Chicago or the city of Detroit? As I pointed out, water, both in
the air and near the surface is a heat sink of substantial range,
dependent on salinity, acidity, turbid or lee, calm or rough and those
other factors not mentioned herein.
There is always water and moisture present on our earth, even in those
areas which lack the great amount of dampness which is present
elsewhere. The small amount of dew carried in the air close to the
ground contributes greatly, even if in a desert, as the morning sun
causes it to vaporize and join the moisture in the air being lofted from
the surface.

Ok, try this then, back up your assertion of global warming being, as
you said, 'a rigged game', with these two choices you are providing below.

You do know global warming is synonymous with climate change, in fact
climate change is one of the predictions, isn't it...
I addressed each of these points of yours, and at some length, in clear
terms. You can respond to those points I have made can't you? These
points you raise do not make for any proof on their own, you understand,
which is why I chose to address them specifically in the other post.
Exactly how much you wish to explain and the research you engage to
answer my questions is entirely up to you, of course, I was asking for
your proof that your statement(s) stand on their own, upon what footing
have you built this set of assertions, nothing more and nothing less.
Do you know for a fact that the the ice packs, summer ice, winter ice
laid down, glacial losses, etc. are NOT decreasing? It has has been
measured; are those lies as well?
Injection of energy into any system will tend to increase the chaos,
heat is only one of the forms of energy being injected into our global
weather system.
Do you have any problem with that set of statements above?
