When not refuting the 97 percent of scientists who believe in human-caused global warming, climate change deniers often draw upon the conspiracy that its is a fabricated theory invented by those in a position to gain financially or otherwise from efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. A Texas-based physicist is turning that notion on its head by offering $10,000 of his own money to anyone who can disprove mainstream, accepted climate science.
Dr. Christopher Keating, a physicist who has taught at the University of South Dakota and the U.S. Naval Academy, says in his blog post that the rules are easy: there is no entry fee, participants must be over 18, and the scientific method must be employed.
Deniers actively claim that science is on their side and there is no proof of man-made climate change, Keating told the College Fix by email. You would think that if it was really as easy as the deniers claim that someone, somewhere would do it.
Keating is planning to post entries on his blog along with comments. He is willing to field a wide array of submissions and is also offering $1,000 to anyone that can provide any scientific evidence at all that climate change isnt real. They are even free to find proof on the Internet and cut and paste it, he said.
Keating is the author of the recent book Undeniable: Dialogues on Global Warming, which employs a Socratic-style discussion between three friends over email in a climate change polemic.
Now these K00ks want people to prove a negative.
It is on those who assert that need to provide proof of claim.

Trivial to do. I can easily prove there are no elephants in my living room. Only the logically deficient -- that is, nearly every denier -- say you can't prove a negative.

Done and done, over and over. That's why the burden of proof is on you now, just as it's on anyone who would want to deny gravity or the round earth theory. So, do it, and collect your easy cash.
Then go get your ten grand.
ps: the human fingerprint is the isotopic analysis that says all 120 ppm added since the IR came from the combustion of fossil fuel.
The rest of it is contained in those CO2 absorption spectra that we've all seen.
Do you have a refutation for either of those two data?
1) The idiot violated Scientific Method in the set-up of the proposition.
2) There is no STANDARD DEFINITION of the Global Warming theory, because there is NO CONSENSUS ON WHAT IT IS.. OR any specific QUANITIZED projections.
3) Leftists love to chant and do street theatre.. It's what they are good at..
I'm thankful that the vast of majority of folks here have been following along and recognize this as a "cheap" act of hubris.. Rather than anything to do with a physicist asking for debate..
