No need to. I believe in the scientific method, therefore I believe the published data. The majority of climate scientists agree with it.
I don't need to provide any data to support my viewpoint because it is in agreement with the current theory. It is THE TRUTH. The only way to change it is to disprove it. Various links have been posted by me and others. I've already said all this and I'm not going through it again. Do You understand the scientific method, the processes of science an publication i peer reviewed journals? If you do then you know the burden of proof is NOT on me, but on those who claim it is not true or who claim some other theory holds and better explains the results.
It is not unfair it is how science works.
P.S. Kaz I basically agree with your post otherwise. I said above -- scientists are human with all that entails, but the scientific method and the scientific processes are self correcting. Nothing should every be taken as gospel, scientists are the most skeptical people on Earth. It's the most important aspect of the job. As far as hand-picking your data you could do that once, but the experiment likely could not be independently replicated.
And it would certainly not make it past the scrutiny of fellow scientist out to prove you wrong.
