I can see this happening. For example, if Rosie O'Donnell were to fall down a flight of stairs.....
If it becomes a “consensus” of scientists then it will be all over with, because then it becomes “fact”. It is still only “many” so we’re okay.
Seriously believing that humans have the ability to affect the planet on a global level.
The Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico total discharge is estimated at 4.9 million barrels (210 million US gal). A mega-disaster? Not really. Apparently God created extra bacteria to eat it all.
“Sagan warned that if Saddam Hussein delivered on his threat to set fire to Kuwait's oil wells, so much black soot would be sent into the stratosphere that sunlight would be blocked and a variation of the “nuclear winter” scenario would occur. Hussein followed through on his threat and by the close of the war over 600 wells were on fire. But the fires had little environmental or climatic effect beyond the Gulf region and virtually no ill effects globally.” OOPS!
Chernobyl, “In 2012, the town of Pripyat, a short bicycle ride from the reactor is home to 10,000. Each year, another 800 move in. Tourists from across the world make the trek, take photographs, leave behind graffiti.” While many still claim the risk of illness and deformities, studies have shown no such risk. Tourists even tour the power plant itself. Some people have lived inside the exclusion zone since the meltdown. Plants & animals show no ill effects.

Wouldn't/shouldn't Scientists know about things based on data and experimentation? What is this belief stuff?

Many scientists
Real scientists or just Al Gore wannabees? Have they hired Prof. Mann to do a “hockey stick” chart for them. I hear that he and his “schience” can be rented cheaply.
Hysteria \Hys*te"ri*a\, n. [NL.: cf. F. hyst['e]rie. See
Hysteric.] (Med.)
A nervous affection, occurring almost exclusively in women,
in which the emotional and reflex excitability is
exaggerated, and the will power correspondingly diminished,
so that the patient loses control over the emotions, becomes
the victim of imaginary sensations, and often falls into
paroxism or fits.
[1913 Webster]
Note: The chief symptoms are convulsive, tossing movements of
the limbs and head, uncontrollable crying and laughing,
and a choking sensation as if a ball were lodged in the
throat. The affection presents the most varied
symptoms, often simulating those of the gravest
diseases, but generally curable by mental treatment
alone. Hysteric
