Well, the next time you want to trust yourself in a high-rise building or on a bridge, you just might want to read up on engineering theory. Or at least hope that the guy who designed them knew about it.

A scientific theory is about as close to absolute truth as you can get. Like the theory of relativity, the theory of gravity, or the theory of evolution, the theory of climate change has undergone rigorous scientific scrutiny which proves, beyond reasonable doubt, that it describes the facts. The hypothesis of Anthropogenic Global Warming might be still up in the air (though it's looking more and more likely), but the fact is that the climate IS changing, and in a way that may not be good for humanity.

Scientists that are paid thousands of $/£ of tax payers money, and then think it is ok to come out of the woodwork after X amount of years with a theory should be sent to prison as frauds. I listen and look at facts not the ramblings of fools trying to justify their few years sitting on their ass in the Caribbean.
Then I suggest you look at the facts, instead of listening to fools on the TV or radio who take in millions of dollars to spout nonsense.

I look out the window on the end of April beginning of May three weeks and I cannot remember in the last 50 years when there has been a spring as hot as this, that is not the IAN 2411 theory, it is a fact. Although I have a theory that this summer is going to be hot in the UK and the winter once again cold, it don’t matter if I am wrong because it is only a theory and not to be taken seriously. In other words you don’t have to be a scientist to come out with a theory, and especially ones that are full of crap. Everyone is intitled to their opinion and theory.
Actually, it is the IAN 2411 hypothesis, not a fact. And you are basing it on personal memories, not on facts. IF you get the relevant data, showing the actual temperatures, and these temperatures agree with your hypothesis, and IF your hypothesis makes predictions about future temperatures which are shown to be accurate, THEN it might gain the status of a theory. Right now all you have is anecdotal evidence which is about as reliable as eyewitness testimony.

Please learn the difference between Hollywood/media understanding of a theory and the actual scientific meaning of a theory.
