No.
What would make sense would be constructing a laboratory model that every university and major laboratory can replicate, which either proves or disproves the hypothesis....and
AGW is an hypothesis and not a theory.
60 years ago in the 1950s, Crick & Watson -- who discovered DNA -- constructed a laboratory model of Primitive Earth, replicating all of the conditions on Earth from temperature to humidity to air pressure to atmospheric composition etc.
This model proved that amino acids could form and the whole process of DNA evolution could take place.
It also proved something else: the time frame necessary is too short.
Based on that, both of those Nobel Prize winning scientists arrived at the same conclusion using different reasoning and facts: Life did not begin on Earth. Life came to Earth already in an advanced form of cellular state (General Panspermia and Directed Panspermia).
This is the 21st Century.
Where is this big model everyone can see? Why isn't the original or a replica sitting at the Smithsonian for all to see and marvel?
Crick & Watson built their model on a shoe-string budget....these ass-clowns have squandered $Billions and got nothing to show for it, except a faulty computer model that no one understands and can't even make predictions.
They prey on the ignorant. They heavily employ Göbellian Propaganda Techniques.
Earth is like a green-house. Really? Greenhouses are spherical? Have polar ice caps? Have glaciers? Have 75% of the surface area covered in water/salt-water? Have miles and miles of atmosphere? Have multiple layers of atmosphere with differing wind speeds and directions?
They've changed names three times: Global Warming -- until it was pointed out that Earth naturally goes through warming and cooling and that these warming and cooling periods take place within cyclical glaciation periods which take place within Ice Ages.
So, then they have us Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW). When that didn't get the knees jerking, they gave us Climate Change.
I'm only mildly curious as to what cute name they'll give it when they re-brand it a 4th time.
I wouldn't be surprised if the re-branded it as Sun-rise.
Do you deny Sun-rise?

When are you going to learn that your life is not the bench-mark for global climate?
When are you going to stop cherry-picking data?

The Earth is not warming.
If the Earth was warming, then the Average Global Temperature would increase 10.6°F to reach the same Average Global Temperature as the last Inter-Glacial Period ~120,000 years ago.
The real question is,
"What is preventing the Earth's temperature from increasing another 10.6°F?"
Scientifically sensible...
