No, you can't "prove" a negative (DISprove).  Proof is SUPPOSED to be
easier.  But, one must first have access to reliable evidence rather
than Chicken Little predictions based on the worst sort of soft science.

(On a similar subject, I remember when, in about 1973, in the wake of an
apparently endless stream of revelations of "harmful" products, a
college professor gave a class the task of choosing everyday products
and developing papers about how items would harm the environment.  One
(notable) student choose Right Guard spray deoderant.  His proposal was
that the flourocarbon propellant would rise through the atmosphere and
attack the ozone layer.  It was tounge-in-cheek.  Who would have
imagined that world leaders would gather, decades later, to restrict
even Halon, a major blessing to the world, to ease an imagined effect of
a "blackboard" idea?  "Science" has gone to hell in a handbasket.)
