And that is the problem. There is a conjecture - one of many possible - 
that purports to explain the 'facts'.
But the problem of induction, means that there are an infinite number of 
conjectures that could explain the data, even if the data was clean, 
plentiful  and unambiguous, which it isn't.
And the current conjecture fits the data so badly that its  excused by 
the fallacious 'precautionary principle' to justify doing stuff that 
cannot work 'in case' they are in fact right.

Another conjecture, that they dont understand how climate works at all, 
and something else is in play, is simply disregarded, because it doesn't 
lead to sales of greenCrap™ and research money for academics.

Turkeys don't vote for Christmas and 'climate scientists' don't vote for 
'natural causes'.

Nor do the mass of ArtStudents who have leapt on the media bandwagon or 
the companies that sell greenCrap or the politicians trying to make 
careers out of it.

Its a trillion dollar boondoggle.

All based on just one conjecture, that has in fact been demonstrated to 
be false.

A most convenient lie, however.
