19. The global warming hypothesis
The hypothesis is that something called "global warming" is occurring.

Since it seems to morph to accommodate whatever facts arise, it's hard to pin down exactly what it is... I will leave that up to the believers.

All I want is one clear test where one can say yes this is true or no this is not true. Since the more extreme predictions (e.g. disappearance of snowy winters, catastrophic sea level rises, increased hurricane activity, rapid glacier melting, etc.) have all been disavowed by the global warming science community, I would simply like one easy, unambiguous test that can prove or disprove the theory.

That's how science works: hypothesis -> experiment -> validation, these are the keys to scientific method.

Give me one single thing by which the global warming hypothesis can be validated. Just one, all I'm asking - but it's got to be an actual scientific test, not one that can be fudged if the post-hoc facts contradict the original prediciton.
