Did anyone read any Jared Diamond books? He gets it totally wrong about Europe. Instead of preaching that Europe was somehow successful, he should have been pointing out how abysmally Europe failed. Europe should be the world's ruling superpower. Instead, Europe allowed constant warring and eventually the spreading of Marxism, to relegate itself to stagnation in mediocrity. With the exception of the UK, Europe essentially began to languish severely and remains that way today. France and Germany spend all their disposable income bailing out Europe's failing economies. At present, Europe is sucking wind. See ya', wouldn't wanna be ya'.

That would make the British empire "supporting evidence", not "proof".
But the fact is that the UK, being geographically separated, avoided Europe's debilitating problems and is the exception, leaving Diamond's premise falsified, not supported.

Hyotheses don't show anything. They are musings/speculation.

How did you read its mind, exactly? Are you once again pretending you are omniscient?
Global Warming violates the 1st LoT by claiming a magical creation of thermal energy out of nothing, in the form of a temperature increase, which is somehow caused by a magical substance.
Greenhouse Effect violates Stefan-Boltzmann and black body science by claiming that an increase in earth's temperature is somehow caused by a decrease in earth's radiance.
Greenhouse Effect violates the 2nd LoT by claiming that the cooler atmosphere somehow heats the warmer earth's surface.
