I wonder what the consensus is on Kim Kardashians butt being too friggen yuuuge.

After all, isn't that more important, I mean, she could probably actually change that.

There is climate change on Mars. There are NO PEOPLE THERE.

Maybe because it is all Marxist bullshit.

“That belief is at odds with the scientific community, Pew noted, citing a 2013 report from the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change that concluded “with 95% certainty that human activity is the dominant cause of observed warming since the mid-20th century.” …”

The UN is not the “scientific community”. How many skeptical scientists were invited to the panel? I’m going to guess it’s not a non-zero amount. Without anyone to propose a contrary interpretation of the data, they cannot be doing science.

Weather is weather. Human must endure and adapt. Pretty basic.

No such thing as scientific consensus.

There's either science, or consensus.

To build a straw man.... If everyone on the planet agreed there was no such thing as gravity, we'd have a consensus, but we'd still not all float off into outer space.

[Boogieman]

Actually, that’s a myth. We’ve known for over 2000 years that the earth was round, well before modern science even existed.

Galileo was imprisoned as a religious heretic. He had the temerity to posit that Earth was NOT the center of the universe, but instead revolved around the sun.

400-odd years later....not much has changed.

[Lurkinanloomin]

Consensus is not science.

Science has always been about questioning and challenging the accepted to push new discovery.

Climate change/Global warming? Maybe! I saw a documentary recently that said,among other things,that there's irrefutable evidence in Central Park (yah,the big one in Manhattan) that New York City was once covered by a glacier a quarter of a mile thick.And it melted before the advent of the internal combustion engine.

So...man made Global Warming? No way,Jose!

[jmaroneps37]

And most of those who believe the hoax are either Democrats or in the discredited media.

[hal ogen]

That 27% are lunatics. They should be ensconced in a mental hospital.
