In doing so he may prove his theory right and in turn disprove the existing theory. Rockin' Flames post seemed like he was just wanted people to go out make up opposition on the other side just because the global warming theory isn't air tight. To disprove a theory you have to have evidence to back it up. What Rockin seems to be saying is that he believes that scientists are only looking at some of the evidence, when that is not the case.

Agreed, for the most part.
If we work on 'disproving' something...the existence of God would be scientific fact UNTIL it has been 'disproven.'
You have a valid point.
