No Proof? per Hansen

Muddled thinking, believing in global warming a religion? I had to reread this letter several times to try and understand what this guy's point was. I can only guess he is another thiest who does not understand how the scientific method is supposed to work. I can probably safely assume this guy doesn't believe in Evolution either. When I am asked if I believe in Evolution, my response is always, I don't "believe" in Evolution, but I "support" the theory of Evolution.

I read with great disappointment the editorial in the Independent Record on Sunday, Nov. 25. Science is not based on “consensus.” It doesn’t matter if 10 percent of scientists believe something, or 99 percent do, it still does not mean it is true.The scientific method is described as starting with a hypothesis, and then trying to either prove or disprove it. Beliefs have nothing to do with it. This smacks of a religion to me.
It can’t be proved, but people sure can believe in it.Real scientists would find out, one, if global warming is happening, and two, if man is part or all of the cause. Man’s activities affect less than 10 percent of all the carbon dioxide expelled into the atmosphere. We need to examine all possible reasons for any global warming that may be occurring.By the way, global warming and climate change are not the same thing. There is absolutely no proof that global warming has anything to do with climate change. Climate change has been occurring since day one and no matter what we think, we will not be able to affect the change in the climate. It is exactly the same as trying to change next week’s weather.
