After last week’s successful BIG 50 colonoscopy… I had enough gas emissions to fill up the Goodyear blimp! I drank Lowenbrau beers to expedite the process…..

Teach’s statement about the consensus on climate change came right after a quote on the scientific consensus in a post that discusses a peer-reviewed study. It seemed reasonable to assume that’s what he was talking about.

However, if his point is that people in general have been wrong about things in the past, that doesn’t seem like a very good way to support his own argument. Just a thought.

Exactly, Stacy. Unfortunately, those who believe Man is all at fault for todays climate change are more worried about consensus, rather then reality.

And they still have not changed their lifestyles to match their rhetoric!

He’s pointing out a general consensus, it does fit into the post. I take it as him pointing out the stupidity of an archaic idea. You know, like the Earth being flat.

Teach said: At one time, the consensus was that the world was flat, that the Earth was the center of the universe, and that women should stay at home cooking and cleaning.

Comparing Greek astronomy to the scientific consensus of today is absurd (not to mention inaccurate since Eratosthenes knew the Earth was a sphere and had calculated its circumference over 2,000 years ago). The geocentric model took a little longer to disprove, but again that was almost 400 years ago. Science has come a long way since then and the consensus of people unaware of the science is not the same thing as scientific consensus. The last part of your statement about women staying home to cook and clean has absolutely nothing to do with science.

It’s unfortunate when you make these kinds of remarks because the main point of your post is actually quite interesting.

Yarrr… now that’s a story that’ll be buried pretty darn deep.
You see, if all this is natural, then they’ll have to figure out a new way of controlling what other people do.

Surely you jest good sir. How could it be possible that something this serious is not man caused?
