Consensus? What Consensus?

You have likely heard that 97% of scientists agree on human-driven climate change. You may also have heard that those who don’t buy into the climate-apocalypse mantra are science deniers.

The truth is that a whole lot more than 3% of scientists are skeptical of the party line on climate. A whole lot more.

The many scientists, engineers and energy experts that comprise the CO₂ Coalition are often asked something along the lines of: “So you believe in climate change, then?” Our answer? “Yes, of course we do: it has been happening for millions of years.” It is important to ask the right questions.

Notable Quotables on “Consensus”

Richard Feynman

I would rather have questions

that can't be answered than

answers that can't be questioned.

Michael Crichton

Whenever you hear the consensus of scientists

agrees on something or other, reach for your wallet,

because you’re being had...

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.

George Will

When a politician says the debate is over,

you can be sure of two things:

the debate is raging, and he’s losing it.

Bertrand Russell

The fact that an opinion has been widely held is

no evidence whatever that it is not utterly absurd; indeed, in view of the silliness of the majority

of mankind, a widespread belief is

more likely to be foolish than sensible.
