Mentioning "Consensus" and "Science" in one sentence is like saying "its cold as hell outside today". Science is not based upon a consensus which is nothing but a popular opinion....Science is based upon an application of the Scientific Method: In order for any phenomenon to be considered "scientific" the method of investigation uses "empirical" or "quantifiable" measurement to produce an "observed", "reproducible" "experiment" that "constantly" maintains a standard that can be used to calibrate FACTS of SCIENCE. Man made climate change is far from a demonstrable FACT OF SCIENCE.
Its more than pompous to suggest that man can control future weather events....i.e., climate changes by the regulation of CARBON, one of the most critical element requirements for life on earth...as every life form on earth depends upon carbon in one form or another to simply exist. All known Life on earth is CARBON BASED. To pretend and act as if its somehow poisoning LIFE on earth is laughable. The earth has gone though many examples of heating and cooling over the eon's long before man appeared. In the 70s the CONSENSUS was the earth was heading into another ice age before the turn of the century...proving what? OPINIONS VARY and SHIFT...facts of science do not.
Anyone....a challenge: Present one report from all those consensus (wink, wink) scientists that does not include words like. "Looks Like" "Appears" "Suggests" "Points to" "Most Likely" "Could Have" etc.., real empirical terms for science
