'Proved' or 'disproved' - check the affiliations before deciding


The idea that anything in science is either “proved” or “disproved” seems to deny the essence of what it is.

“Proof” is a standard upon science rarely relies rather, most views are either consensus or evidence based and even then there is a degree of doubt.

Climate change varies little from that thesis and although most scientists qualified to work in the atmospheric field have a consensus view that humans have damaged and are changing earth’s atmosphere, and so its weather, but still the conversation continues, as it should.

However, American meteorologist and co-founder of The Weather Channel, John Coleman, has argued that the theory of man-made climate change is no longer credible.

The UK website, “Express” told of Coleman’s change of heart in a story headed: “Climate change PROVED to be 'nothing but a lie', claims top meteorologist”.
