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.

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.

99.9% of climate scientists who want to continue receiving government funding agree climate change is real and man-made.

And just who signs the paychecks the “99.9%-ers” receive? Gov’t grants, $$$ funneled to them through the WWF, Sierra Club, etc? Follow the money. Their assertions the AGW is real is as meaningful as Bill Gates issuing a strong buy recommendation on Microsoft.

“There isn’t any evidence against global warming and there isn’t any alternative theory,” he said. “We’ve been looking for negative feedbacks and we’ve never found one that amounts to anything.”

I guess that all three major data sets based on satellite data which all show no rising worldwide temperatures for nearly 20 years do not count as “evidence against global warming”. And of course there is the U.S. Climate Reference Network, (USCRN) which was designed to be the most accurate network of ground based weather recording stations in the United States which shows we are now ten years into a slight cooling trend... that must not be “evidence” either.

MSNBC has reached new heights of journalistic malfeasance. Of course they have James L. Powell, director of the National Physical Sciences Consortium to blame. And just what is the National Physical Sciences Consortium? It is a “nonprofit” whose stated purpose is to “emphasizes the recruitment of women and underrepresented minorities.” So despite having a name that sounds like it is a scientific organization it is just another leftist group dedicated to funneling mostly government funds to minorities. That is a huge surprise isn’t it.

He also tried a different approach than the earlier studies. Rather than search for explicit acceptance of anthropomorphic global warming, Powell searched for explicit rejection. All the papers in the middle, he figured, weren’t neutral on the subject — they were settled on it.

what an idiot

This is an amazing religion. If you polled all the catholic clergy in the world you would not get 97% agreeing that Jesus rose from the dead, you would get a much lower number. With the help of the pope we finally have a religion we can all agree on. Wonderful.
