Putting the Science in Climate Science

I’d like to compile a list of prominent climate scientists on every side of the global warming debate, and ask them to each provide a description of the data they would require to admit that their current position is invalid.
Falsifying a hypothesis is an important part of the Scientific Method, and I’m not sure if it’s just bad reporting or not, but I usually only hear from folks who resemble tenacious pit bulls when it comes to their theories. A notable exception is Bastardi from Accuweather who was on the Dennis Miller Show the other day, talking about data being collected and how he’d form conclusions based on incoming data, and what data he’d need to see to be convinced. It’s good to see that some sensible ones are actually out there.
