Claims of man-made global warming based on an argument that there is no data to provide it is not man-made is an example of the negative evidence fallacy.

The negative evidence fallacy is when one side controls the data and then points to a lack of evidence for the other side as though that should be persuasive.  Claims of man-made [[global warming]] based on an argument that there is no data to provide it is not man-made is an example of the negative evidence fallacy.
