The best you'll get is a consensus amongst scientists. In this case,
the consensus is huge, at 99.9% in the latest literature survey. What
does that suggest about CO2 being the major cause of global warming.

A good analogy is gravity. The theory of gravity is not proven and
never will be. However, if I was stood under a falling piano, I'd be
inclined to do my best to get out of the way. A denier, however would
be still telling anyone in hearing distance that the theory is a
bunch of crap. Right up to the end. ??

In the instance of gravity, how much proof do you want??

We know how it works, we know what the equations are. We can
'slingshot' spaceprobes around planets in order to accelerate them.
And lo and behold the probes end up where we want them.

How could we do that if the theory wasn't 'proven'?

We know global warming is occurring and 99.9% of all published material on the subject points to CO2 being the cause. How much more "proof do you want, Well actually, you can carry on asking for it until you are blue in the face, but you'll never get it.

Research proof in science. You'll see I'm absolutely correct. There is none. You just have very well established theories that *so far* have stood the test of time.
