Now, it has been asked what would falsify the theory of anthropogenic global warming. The answer is simple, and there's more than one way to do it, but they all boil down to one thing.
Find a significant flaw in the climate models being used.
A significant flaw can (among other possibilities) be a mistake in the models, an error in the data, or a missing factor driving the change. Things like "But it's cold today" are not significant flaws. Things like "They used the word 'trick,' so it's all a hoax" are not significant flaws. Accusations of fraud, conspiracy, hypocrisy on the part of this or that proponent (especially accusations given without evidence) are not serious flaws.
It's that simple.
