What would your experiment be? If you wanted to prove or disprove Man made global warming (AGW), what would it be?

Please remember that the ONLY thing we are trying to prove/disprove is man%26#039;s involvement in global warming, not whether the earth is naturally warming. This means that icebergs melting is not a way to prove man%26#039;s involvement (unless there are icebergs which only melt in man made global warming).

You do not have to get detailed as to describe the actual experiment. Just a well thought out hypothesis would be good.

For example, mine would be %26quot;To prove man made global warming, I would show that temperature is driven by CO2 levels.%26quot; Please no comments as to what the possible outcome of your xperiment may be, just the starting point.

  • I%26#039;m still thinking about it.......
    I%26#039;ll update my answer as soon as I can.......

    Out of curiosity: have you ever been or acted as a mediator/facilitator? Because it%26#039;s a very NEUTRAL question (without apparent favoritism to either group) that allows both sides to equally elaborate on the answer.... I like it
  • I would monitor the ocean temperatures around undersea vulcanoes and follow the currents to the Arctic and Antarctic to see how much heat they lost to melt the ice. Also monitor undersea earthquakes and vulcanic action to see if there is any co-relation with the El nino and Al nino effects.
  • I would take all politicians, environmentalists, Hollywood experts, Bob and Dana and tape their mouths shut for 10 years.
    This way we would know for sure if it was a real %26quot;Man made%26quot; issue and not just a bunch of hot air.
  • Well, the only real way to prove this would be to make an identical earth, without any men in it, subjected to the exact same conditions as ours is and measure its temperature.
  • you confuse me
