Consensus is not science, nor is it an indication of fact.
All this means is that there is agreement on the
available evidence from
current climate research on the date the consensus was reached. It's a snapshot in time, and will be out of date the moment more evidence becomes available.
Wouldn't disagree on that. But the facts are that the evidence points one way (yes,
at the moment) and that the weight of the scientific community agrees. When the evidence changes, so will scientific minds.
Ashie, I strongly suggest that you do not waste your time locking horns with these buffoons.
Thye're reactionaries. In essence, they know the square root of fcuk all decimal fcuk all about the science. What they do know is that they don't like the look of the proponents of AGW; to a man, they're Pinkos, Commies, Crusties, moist-palmed and scheming Eurocrats and effete academics, all in an unholy conspiracy to deprive the Hard Working English Man of his God-given right to use a 3.0 litre 4x4 for the 0.5 mile school run. Consequently, they'll trawl the Web to hoover up any scrap of science or pseudo science to reinforce their prejudices.
If you absolutely have to go mano-a-mano with fcuktards, may I suggest this lot:
The Flat Earth Society
They're a lot more funny and they've better graphics.
PS
This is not an invitation for debate: If I want that kind of debate, I'll talk to the meltdowns that wander into my local from the psychiatric hospital over the road. They can make a
convincing case for why dozens of respected scientific institutions around the World would conspire to foist a fraudulant scientific theory on us. They'll also give a good shpiel on how the Queen runs the cocaine trade and about the secret tunnels that run between the Vatican and Vauxhall Cross.
