Can anyone prove that Global Warming is a hoax?

Got proof that the entire scientific community is on this gag, post a link.

If you post that link to the emails, you fail because it doesn't include data from several other organizations that say that its real. I want real, conclusive proof, not opinions.

If you ask me to prove its real, you fail as well.

Go for it.

    The heavy snowfalls this month have been used as fodder for ridicule by those who argue that global warming is a myth, yet scientists have long pointed out that warmer global temperatures have been increasing the rate of evaporation from the oceans, putting significantly more moisture into the atmosphere — thus causing heavier downfalls of both rain and snow in particular regions, including the Northeastern United States. Just as it’s important not to miss the forest for the trees, neither should we miss the climate for the snowstorm.

    Here is what scientists have found is happening to our climate: man-made global-warming pollution traps heat from the sun and increases atmospheric temperatures. These pollutants — especially carbon dioxide — have been increasing rapidly with the growth in the burning of coal, oil, natural gas and forests, and temperatures have increased over the same period. Almost all of the ice-covered regions of the Earth are melting — and seas are rising. Hurricanes are predicted to grow stronger and more destructive, though their number is expected to decrease. Droughts are getting longer and deeper in many mid-continent regions, even as the severity of flooding increases. The seasonal predictability of rainfall and temperatures is being disrupted, posing serious threats to agriculture. The rate of species extinction is accelerating to dangerous levels.

    I don't care one way or the other about your Global Warming. But I must say your logic is somewhat comical. When its seasonably hot at any given location on the planet, it's evidence of GW. When it's severe cold and snow storms, that also proves GW.

    Can you smell what your shoveling? You people are a joke, but I am not really laughing anymore. Now it's just irritating!

    according to Hannity and Limbuagh, snow in the winter is proof that it is a hoax. According to the facts, January of 2010 was one of the warmest on records, and even with all the snow in the U.S. in February, the temperatures were still average overall.

    Not to mention the fact that the first decade of the 21st century was the warmest decade on record. Anyone who is at least 50 years old knows that there isn't nearly the amount of snow there was when they were growing up.

    One of the deniers biggest weapons is a list of 30,000 scientists that signed a petition. What they never point out is that less than one half of one percent of them are climatologists.

    Science doesn't work by appeal to authority, especially when that authority is "the internet".

    There is no question among the scientifically literate as to the reality of gravity, evolution, climate science, continental drift, or relativity.

    There cannot be "real, conclusive proof" in science, only a preponderance of evidence, which at this point clearly favors the idea that the Earth is warming and it's our fault.

    The deniers don't realize that they hold the burden of proof. The theory is already been tested, although it isn't 100% proven it is still a theory, like that of gravity. Now they say it's a hoax because it's snowing. I say that's rubbish, that is not proof by any means. They'd rather rant and rave about Al Gore, and this gives them an excuse to do so.

    Can anyone PROVE that man-made Global Warming is a fact? See that is science, you have to prove your hypothesis before you can state it. Man-made Global warming has never been proved. Unfortunately, we have groups and organizations on both sides of this issue that are getting in the way of true science.

    It is scientifically proved.

    The Industrialized countries are causing a lot of industrial pollution and they are destroying the ozone layer.
