I'm not commenting on climate change in this sense. I'm just pointing out that you're using the word 'theory' wrong. What you're talking about is a 'hypothesis'.
I just find it very annoying when someone says something can't be trusted because it's "just a theory". Now, 'just a hypothesis' is a fine objection; that's an idea that is still being tested. The pitfall of climate change is it's a hypothesis that we're still investigating because we're trying to build predictive models based on information that is staggering in its variability. What I don't think, however, is that it's all a hoax, or that there is no profit to fundamental, sustainable, permanent changes to our energy consumption.
It's like, what's the worst that happens? Oh no, we've made the planet all clean and nice, for no reason. What a bummer. I hate living in clean environments. Phooey.
