It does cause however an average rise in global temperature which can be measured. As well as an increase in extreme weather events, which can also be measured.

Therefore against what you are implying, it is testable.

Yes, the rise in global temperatures can be measured...but could you provide me with the definite proof that higher average temperatures lead to extreme weather events?  Causation does not equal correlation, so you have to be really careful saying 1 thing is leading to another in studies.

Climate models predict more extreme weather events and the number of these events can be measured. That's all I was saying.

Well, I don't have the highest faith in climate models, lol.  Short term models, such as GFS, Euro, and CMC that predict weather for only 2 weeks are horrid near the end of their model runs, so I have a LOT of trouble trusting models that try to predict years ahead, when something drastic could change with the sun for instance, and we could go into a deep ice age 10 years from now...nobody knows.

Climate =/= weather

And obviously the models are void if an asteroid hits, that's not the point.
