Surely you can come up with one itty bitty piece of evidence disproving it.
We had the Medieval Warming Period which lasted for hundreds of years, and was much warmer then today. Then we had a Little Ice-Age, it lasted for hundreds of years, it ended around 1910, and it's only slightly warmer today - yes Virginia, there has been climate change.
You'd have to prove then that the global climate is not changing (AGW says it is changing) or that it is changing but it is doing so independent of man's activities. Should be simple for the AGW deniers but all I see is excuses.
"I will award $10,000 of my own money to anyone that can prove, via the scientific method, that man-made global climate change is not occurring;"
The climate temps have been flat for the past 14 years, so there has been no climate change this century - so give me the $10,000 dollars.

Yep, that's all you ever get out of the mindless science deniers... lies and excuses.

The difference is THOSE events really can be scientifically explained without man made causes. You can't explain our current changes without human caused pollution. That's what just about every active published scientists who has ever studied the matter has concluded and there is tons and tons and tons of evidence to support this conclusion.
Luckily, the deniers are a lot like you, ignorant and bloviating and completely unable to make a decent argument. That really says something about you anti-science deniers, doesn't it?

If you go and read the comments on the guys blog, he's actually got a pretty good debate going on over there.
It's real simple. Someone would just have to present a scientific paper that explains the phenomena we're witnessing on Earth without involving man-made factors. Sort of like the thousands of papers that explain those phenomena with man-made factors. It's a little thing called "science."
Extract of the majority of those scientific papers:
Volcanic activity, sun spot activity, natural shifts in ocean currents, and water vapor in the atmoshere account for 98-99% of climate change factors. The earth has been significantly warmer than current climate temperature ranges prior to man's existence, and we have no true scientific baseline from which to determine what is the true "normal" temperature range of our climate. This study focuses on the fact that Cleavland Ohio has a manufacturing facility that puts out 100ppm CO2 from scrubbers and isolating all other factors have calculated the facility is responsible for a .000000000000000000000000000000000000001 degree farenheit change in the atmosphere over the last 30 years. The inescapble conclusion of this result is that we must shut down all economic activity of any advanced economy. China, India, and Russia manufacturing have been determined to pose no threat to the environment.
So how about you tell us how science does work then. This is the method climate science uses..
Ask a Question
Do Background Research
Construct a Hypothesis
Test Your Hypothesis by Doing an Experiment
Analyze Your Data and Draw a Conclusion
Communicate Your Results
Wow! I agree! Too bad you people do not follow the accepted scientific method.
Experiments? What experiments? All you people have is computer models and correlation of CO2 levels to temperature, which means correlation, which as everyone knows does not mean causation.
You people have constructed whole worlds based upon mere supposition. Come back when you have done the experimental stage. Need some help? I have one big old experiment that you smart boys could undertake. Free of charge.
$10k isn't even enough for a decent plane ticket to somewhere warm in the winter or cool in the summer.
Are you talking about prices in the future?
