By creating hypothesis and then testing it, experimentally and verifying results, you know SCIENCE.
That's what 95% of the climate scientists believe we have done. If that's not enough, please explain your exact criteria. WHO must do all the things you mention, and WHEN does the general public know they have been done correctly ?
First of all, we haven't doubled CO2 yet. We've only added about 35%. Secondly, the 3C sensitivity is the steady state number. Right now, we're still in flux, as the oceans take considerable time to warm up. So, even if we stopped adding CO2 now, the temperature would continue to rise for decades.
Have voters been made aware of this ? I'm pretty sure that the average voter, who does not care for scientific journals and reports, has a poor idea of the current scientific facts and theories. And that applies to voters on both sides of the debate.
How does one determine when science has "fully resolved" a question ? Also, it's impossible to not have a policy while we wait. Right now, our policy is to keep producing CO2 at about the same rate. What exactly should we base that policy on, if not for our current best scientific understanding ?
Consensus isn't science, but it's a method of determining which of the competing scientific theories should be used as a basis of policy. It may not be a good method, but other methods are worse.
Was there ever a global warming hiatus ? No. The rising trend has not been broken. You've simply been duped by some random noise. As someone who likes to insist on error bars, you should appreciate that.
All you need is software to recognize that the subject is a cute cat, and then replace it with a similar picture from a database of professional studio-shot cats.

Sounds good. May be a challenge to get all the Congress members to do that, though.
The future hasn't happened yet.
after supposedly having been tinkered the crap out of
Funny, because it's the exact same data people use to claim there has been a pause. Or do you have a source for better data ?

The mean temperature may rise 0.6C.
Current state-of-the-art climate models span a range of 2.6–4.1 C, most clustering around 3 C, according to http://www.pik-potsdam.de/~ste...

What if we wean our economy off of fossil fuels for nothing ?
The data from the last decade fits the rising trend perfectly.

No, I was responding to the other comment about water vapor.

Except for the persistent part.

Yes, it was unusually hot compared to the 30-40 mean. What happened 10k years ago isn't as relevant as you think it is.
Here's the data with the trend line drawn in. There's no slowing, just noise.

And you grow all your own food ? Or do you perhaps get that from areas that would be affected by rising temperatures ?

Why would you want to display your photo on a slice of dead tree ?
Well, yeah, but he also said goto was harmful.
Bring your own bottle, and drink it outside.
Nicotine still hardens your arteries.
5'10" and 150 lbs is a BMI of 21.5, which is about ideal.
Why? Well, if you want to run Windows Applications :-)
I'm wondering why we need a new Windows version every couple of years, just to run some applications.
