You're such a tedious man!
The scientific method is an empirical method of acquiring knowledge that has characterized the development of science since at least the 17th century. It involves careful observation, applying rigorous skepticism about what is observed, given that cognitive assumptions can distort how one interprets the observation.

Nope. There is no 'method' nor 'procedure'. You are just spewing the same ancient BS that was actually used to try to prove the existence of God.
Science has no elite voting bloc. A theory is a theory from its inception. A hypothesis stems from a theory, not the other way around. You cannot prove any theory True.
Science is just a set of falsifiable theories. That's it. That's all.

Watch it again. There is no method. He is simply describing the concept of falsifiability of any theory of science.
He also touches on nonscientific theories, which are not falsifiable, and can neither be proven True nor False. They are NOT a theory of science. A theory of science MUST be falsifiable.
Listen to that 'flying saucers' bit again. That is an example of a nonscientific theory.
Other nonscientific theories include the Theory of Abiogenesis, the Theory of Creation, the Theory of the Big Bang, the Theory of the Continuum, the Theory of Evolution, etc. The remain a circular argument (the way all theories begin). These are religions, not science. Like any religion, there are fundamentalists (people that try to prove a circular argument either True or False). ALL religions are based on some initial circular argument (also known as the argument of faith), and arguments extending from that. Attempting to prove a circular argument either True or False creates the circular argument fallacy, which is what a fundamentalist does.
Science is NOT religion. A theory of science MUST be falsifiable, that is, testable to try to break the theory. That test must be available, practical to conduct, specific, and produce a specific result. If the theory survives that test, it is automatically a theory of science. It is no longer a circular argument.
This test is also known as the test of the null hypothesis.
Science isn't a scientist or any group of scientists.
Science has no politics. No religion. It does not use consensus. It has no voting bloc.
Science is not a 'method' nor a 'procedure'.
Science isn't even people at all.
Science is a set of falsifiable theories. That's it. That's all.
The purpose of any experiment is to try to break the theory. That's the only valid purpose of any experiment or test of any theory of science.
As long as a theory can survive such tests, it is AUTOMATICALLY a part of the body of science. It needs no vote. It needs no peer review. It need not even be published.
It will remain a theory of science until it is eventually falsified (if ever). No theory can ever be proven True.

There is no such thing as a fossil fuel. Fossils don't burn. Quoting idiots like The Guardian is just quoting fake news.

Another record. Another reminder. Why you can run, but you cant hide.
Reports of a record breaking marine heatwave currently occurring off the coast of New South Wales are deeply concerning. Warming oceans and marine heatwaves have catastrophic impacts on marine ecosystems and the species that rely on cool and cold waters to survive.

Past seven years hottest on record - EU satellite data
The Copernicus data comes from a constellation of Sentinel satellites that monitor the Earth from orbit, as well as measurements taken at ground level.
Copernicus data showed that 2021 was the fifth-hottest on record, marginally warmer than 2015 and 2018. Taken together, the past seven years were the hottest seven years on record by a clear margin, the agency explained.
The 2021 average temperature was 1.1-1.2C above the pre-industrial level around 150 years ago.

The 'sky is falling' narrative is being attacked from all sides, here is yet another broadside to the leaking old warship.
Polar sea ice trends are “an antidote to climate alarm”
London, 14 December – A new paper by an eminent meteorologist says that trends in polar sea-ice levels give little cause for alarm. The paper, by Professor J. Ray Bates has just been published by the Global Warming Policy Foundation.
According to Professor Bates, climate model simulations indicate significantly decreasing sea ice levels in both hemispheres, with the greatest decreases occurring in September each year.
However, the observed September trend in the Antarctic is actually slightly upwards, and while observed levels in the Arctic have fallen over the last 40 years, they have been quite stable since around 2007.
Professor Bates said:
In 2007, Al Gore told us that Arctic sea ice levels were ‘falling off a cliff’. It’s clear now that he was completely wrong. In fact, the trends in sea-ice are an antidote to climate alarm.”
Professor Bates also says that little reliance should be placed on model simulations of future sea-ice decline:
Climate models failed to predict the growth in Antarctic sea ice, and they missed the recent marked slowdown of sea-ice decline in the Arctic. It would be unwarranted to think they are going to get things right over the next 30 years.”
Professor Bates’ paper is published today, and can be downloaded here (pdf). https://www.thegwpf.org/content/uploads/2021/12/Bates-Sea-Ice-Trends.pdf

Cyclone Batsirai: Whole villages swept away in Madagascar
The WFP says the recent pattern of destructive storms caused by global warming and climate change has caused failed harvests, high food prices and increased food insecurity in the region.
"The people of Southern Africa have been on the front lines of climate extremes for many years now and each passing storm sets them back, resetting the progress made," said senior WFP official Margaret Malu.
Experts say that extreme weather events like cyclones will become more frequent because of climate change.
Madagascar is also just recovering from the effects of a drought, which was also blamed on global warming.
The environment minister told the BBC that the country had submitted a plan to the COP26 climate conference, which showed it needed $1bn (£740m) a year to adapt to the effects of climate change.

A Supercharged Climate: Rain Bombs, Flash Flooding and Destruction
The record-breaking and relentless deluge that has flooded towns and cities in Queensland and New South Wales is one of the most extreme disasters in Australian history, and the devastation is wide-ranging. It lasted days and flooded towns, causing tragic loss of life and submerging tens of thousands of homes and businesses.
The new Climate Council report ‘A Supercharged Climate: Rain Bombs, Flash Flooding and Destruction’ explains how climate change is intensifying extreme rainfall and how the frequency of these events is likely to almost double with each degree of further global warming.
For many communities dealing with flood emergencies, this is the latest in a long line of climate change-driven extreme weather events they have faced in recent years, including unprecedented drought, unprecedented Black Summer bushfires, unprecedented powerful storms, and unprecedented scorching heatwaves. It is time for action.
Correction: An error was corrected in this report on Thursday March 10. It now correctly reads: A “rain bomb” hit Brisbane and southeastern Queensland with around 60 percent of the region’s average annual rainfall occurring within three days. Brisbane received almost the same amount of rain in three days than London in the UK typically does over an entire year.
Key findings
1 Climate change is firmly embedded in the 2022 flooding emergency that swept through southeast Queensland and New South Wales with some regions experiencing rainfall that was simply off the charts.
