Ha! Hot damn.

Science, after all, isn’t about consensus ... science isn’t democratic. Its about proof. Its about finding holes in your OWN theory, testing and re-testing each and every flaw, and either verifying your hypothesis, or refining it to match with the data.

Global warming has completely reversed the process — a theory was posited, voted on, and the “consensus” was accepted as truth without any verification whatsoever. No proof. No testing. No trial and error. Just a vote. That’s not science — that’s politics.

Well, looks whose bread and butter it was. A former vice-president. It’s all he knows.

Or in NASA's case, refining the data to match the hypothesis

"That’s not science — that’s politics."

Actually, it's coveted media coverage which translates into GovernMental grant money for more "research" to try to confirm the consensus premise to win some more publicity and a prize!!!
