      Regarding the 95 percent of climate science researchers consensus that       human activity is a cause of climate change:              >"Science" is never about consensus.              Correction, it is and has always been about it.              Ancient consensus by science was the earth was the center of the heavenly       bodies. Observation and common sense was the basis for the consensus.              As people came to observe flukes in the observation of the orbit of the       planets; this conclusion came under increasing doubt. Complex explanitory       models to account for the flukes arose.              A new view that the sun was orbitedd by the planets solved the flukes of       the observvations and did so in a more straight forward less complex       manner.              A new sun centric consensus arose in support of that view and is now the       standard explanitory model.              That is how science proceeds. A consensus model persists until new info       and/or a model with greater explanitory ppower comes along.              So it is with the consensus on human related climate change.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
