I don't understand your point. Analysts in every field of study use empirical data to generate estimates, then use statistical tools to calculate the confidence level. Basic math and science.
The problem I have with this is that folks keep on saying this but produce no evidence in support. Sow us the science for heavens sake.
The climate deniers have two approaches:
1) Avoid science and make appeals to emotion or "common sense."
2) Use highly cherry-picked data and pseudo-science. If it sounds science-y then they know the target audience will buy it without questioning it.

Indeed.
If there is evidence to refute human-caused global warming, then why aren’t the skeptics presenting such evidence to the scientific community? Why waste one’s time on an Internet forum? Surely, winning a Nobel Prize is worth the effort, no?
In the case of AGW, just prove that CO2 does not absorb infrared heat, and you disprove AGW.
One way to do this: put two gas mixtures in two separate containers under an infrared heat lamp. Put lots of CO2 in one, and just ordinary air in the other. If the CO2 rich mixture doesn’t heat up faster, then you can show AGW is false.
Obviously, make sure both gas mixtures are getting the same amount of infrared heat. No cheating!
Quick, government, take my money! "Fix" this problem!
