I must resort to the insult to rocks trope on this one: Calling such statements falsifiable is an insult to falsifiable statements.

The tactic used here is to create an unfalsifiable situation, not an unfalsifiable statement, by evaluating the measurement according to a criteria so craven and unworkable that no one with a reputation worth defending will give it utterance: The continuing survival of the planet depends on absolute climate stasis. Or, to put it another way, we are to assess the suitability of the planet as a living thing, by taking measurements and expecting them to register as if it were already a dead thing.

Couple that boondoggle of logical fail, with an unworkable long-term memory, and you have the global warmist's argument: History began yesterday morning, so forget all about these headlines from the past and listen to what we're saying NOW. There has been a change, and although we aren't willing to jot the words down or specifically mouth the syllables, ALL change means certain doom.

Silly. And they aren't saying it. But without this foundation, they have nothing to say.
