It turns out the climate change deniers were right: There isn’t 97% agreement among climate scientists. The real figure? It’s not lower, but actually higher.

There was a time also there was 100% agreement among scientists that the earth was the center of the universe.

The climate has been dolazealed. i.e., it’s transclimactic. Or something. Hate to say it but the change is 100% changeable at my house. 100% of the time.

Back in 2008, they were. Then they elected OB1BO and he caused the oceans to drop.

Michael Crichton on science and consensus:

Let’s be clear: the work of science has nothing whatever to do with consensus. Consensus is the business of politics. Science, on the contrary, requires only one investigator who happens to be right, which means that he or she has results that are verifiable by reference to the real world. In science consensus is irrelevant. What is relevant is reproducible results. The greatest scientists in history are great precisely because they broke with the consensus.

There is no such thing as consensus science. If it’s consensus, it isn’t science. If it’s science, it isn’t consensus. Period

From NPR:

If you smoked Colombian weed in the '70s and '80s, Tony Dokoupil would like to thank you: He says you paid for his swim lessons and kept him in the best private school in south Florida — at least for a little while.

Dokoupil's father started selling marijuana during the Nixon era, and expanded his operation until he became a partner in what his son describes as the biggest East Coast dope ring of the Reagan years, smuggling marijuana into the U.S.

But Dokoupil didn't know this until many years later, because his parents didn't tell him. His mother continued to keep the secret after his father disappeared from their lives, when Dokoupil was 10. When he did find out, he wanted to know the whole story. He combed through court documents and newspaper files and interviewed Drug Enforcement Administration agents who investigated the case, as well as more than a dozen smugglers and dealers, including his own father. He shares what he found in a new book called The Last Pirate: A Father, His Son and the Golden Age of Marijuana.

This is how the science-deniers operate. First, they presume all science is “settled” by a show of hands, then they keep repeating the lie that there is little disagreement among scientists that the fictional AGW is real, expecting that it will come true — despite overwhelming scientific evidence to the contrary — if they repeat the lie loudly and often enough.

Yes the Pravda network sampled an approved group of “scientists” who agreed with them, the rest were not selected as serious scientists because the were deniers.

The definition of a “Climate Scientist” is one who believes in global warming. No wonder such a high percentage of them believe in global warming.

They don't even seem to know how utterly ridiculous they sound. There is not and statistically could never be that kind of consensus on anything. Besides, a consensus bears no relation to truth or facts. There used to be a consensus that the earth is flat, the center of the universe. Slavery is the natural position black Africans should hold within society and that the role of any female should be limited to bearing children and keeping house were considered givens. And if a survey was conducted in Saudi Arabia and Gulf countries you'd get a sizable majority still agreeing with all of the above. Using "everybody agrees" as an argument in support of any proposition, but especially about science, is ludicrous.
