Link to proof of this claim about climate skeptics ?

Actually the logic of the fact that any roll of die is unpredictable is exactly why the casino makes the profit. It does not suggest that the casino somehow has a superior ability to predict the outcome. It's just that the casino is betting against your ability to predict successfully.
The "warmers" have used this same sort of reasoning to the effect that if they cannot scientifically prove what is causing the warming, then skeptics are unable to disprove their claims. This is not science folks.
