Unlike Sokrates, I can overlook the mispelling and see the beauty of a budding philosopher. Your new philosophy is to reckoned with because it indicates radical doubt. Thankyou for asking this question.

Global warming being "bad" is merely a human perception about an event. The scientific method, however, requires that we prove our case and support our conclusions.

Humans are also egocentrenic. If we can make something about us, we will find a way. In doing, so (confirmation bias in psychology) we exclude any other data from our cognitive processes.

I agree. What if global warming brings about new technology that reduces suffering, poverty and disease. Will we still consider it "bad". What if the environmental "crisis" leads to nations building alliances rather than being enemies. Will we still consider it "bad"?

It's all a question of how we choose to look at things.

For example, how many miles closer to the Sun does the Earth have to be to create similar temperature and climate changes regardless of the amount of carbon in the atmosphere. How many degrees of the core temperature of the Earth are required to notice changes in ocean currents, temperatures across the planet? How much radiation does a sun need to give off and affect the ozone layer regardless of how much carbon is in the atmosphere?

People call a lot of stuff science that is not scientific at all philosophy, and psychiatry are just some of them, there are many others, a theory is just that until it is proven, that means it is partial science not scientifically valid and reliable evidence of proof or not scientific fact.

Good philosophers usually know how to spell and they are sophisticated and clear in their thoughts. Sounds like you've got a way to go in being a philosopher. Part of being a philosopher is also asking questions and clarifying everyday phenomena. Keep working on these qualities and you'll be fine.

well, humans can't know the future, but they can predicit it, if they use the resluts from know they further advance these resluts to the point when the conclusion comes, global warming is bad, you should get more facts first

How can you know true knowledge if you have not sought wisdom to discern truth.

Your 'philosophy' lacks insight.
