"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."

I suggest that all 'consensus-minded' people who think "consensus=man causes global warming" should read Michael Crichton's brillaint lecture, "Aliens cause Global Warming". I should warn you though - it's backed up with FACTS, not the emotional mob-inciting psycho-babble of Oprah's "Noah of Global Warming", Al Gore. So if you aren't prepared to be hit in the face with evidence that consensus is nothing but a load of honk, do NOT follow this link:

Seriously - these scientists of have 'consensualized' that man causes global warming simply can't be trusted. They have a vested FINANCIAL interest in saying that man does cause it. If they can go out and scare enough people into thinking it's true, and come up with some vague hypothesis, they can be in line for literally millions of dollars in Federal grants from American taxpayers. Those are stakes for which men will play a desperate game.

Enviro-nazis constantly say that big oil and big business cannot be trusted because of the profits they earn. So why are those who scare up cash for their 'we can prove global warming' projects not mistrusted because of THEIR lust for cash money? They literally do not look on you 'pro-green' types as believers. You're PRODUCT to them. They count on you to donate money because of their fear speak. It's literally their job. If you aren't donating - they get bupkis. And they know it. Which is why they get louder and louder and their predictions get more and more apocolyptic.

Have you ever asked yourself - how much money do you just GIVE to these people every year? And how many of your hard-earned dollars are they ACTUALLY spending to save the spotted owl? If they're non-profit organizations, I'd love to see some IRS auditors go through their books......
