Poor example. Other elements of the theory (which is just a theory, ha ha) have been tested, in fact their effects are taken into account in the GPS system and anything else that requires precise timing of signals over large enough distances.

James H. just wants to assert that AGW has no empirical verification, which of course is sillier than any claim regarding alien anal probes.

In this case, it's quite easy to demonstrate the contrary, at least to the genuinely curious. That Mr. Heartfield ain't.
