A point I've never heard on climate change but my God!

Do you really think it's reasonable to promote consensus as the standard for certainty in a scientific hypothesis? I've always felt that the numbers and evidence speaks for itself on this issue.

Scientists have wrongly held consensus opinions in the past. I personally find it very offensive when people who are technically illiterate don't bother with the details and just cite a consensus as a justification for a belief.

I guess what I'm saying is a lot of experts have been totally wrong about things before, to the point that people promoting alternative but correct theories have been pushed out of the profession. It seems to me that group think really has no place in science as a result.
