Having just read a little about Karl Popper lately, I think that your
request for irrefutable proof is impossible. Science doesn't work
that
way, in the sense that absolute proof is a near impossibility. At
least,
you (apparently) agree that the Earth is warming, which is still an
unresolved question to many people.
Given that the Earth is indeed warming and doing so in ways which are
consistent with AGW, it's really up to the skeptics to show how the
warming could be happening without AGW. As far as I'm aware, there is
no such explanation available.
