In some circumstances yes, but I think actually that most of the papers out there disprove AGW, it&#x27;s just that nobody reads them.  I&#x27;ve read many papers given to me by AGW proponents that they claim support AGW, and in every case they don&#x27;t and in most they actually support the opposite conclusion. (as do most of the scientists who have signed petitions.)<p>As a political movement, global warming doesn&#x27;t need science, politicians and advocates just declare it &quot;settled&quot; and thus feel they don&#x27;t have to defend their claims.
