That’s not necessarily a bad thing. If it survives enough challenges it becomes the predominant theory. But even then it isn’t a fact. Ptolemy’s heliocentric theory of the universe survived for 1400 years before Copernicus trumped his hand.
No, global warming is not a hypothesis. It's a fact.
The cause of global warming is under debate, but there is no question whatsoever that global warming is well documented and beyond contest. Climate change is in progress.
