"Let's be clear: the work of science has nothing whatever to do with consensus. Consensus is the business of politics."

As Margaret Thatcher said about consensus:

"To me, consensus seems to be the process of abandoning all beliefs, principles, values and policies. So it is something in which no one believes and to which no one objects."

A BTT for a great line - Richard Feynman was characteristically blunt, saying, "I really don't think these guys know what they're talking about..."

As good an explanation of junk science as I have seen yet.

Science by consensus.

Seems that every one of these Crichton talks has its own scary aspect to it. Anyone who quotes Carl Sagan about anything scientific goes down a peg in my book.

Let's think back to people in 1900 in, say, New York. If they worried about people in 2000, what would they worry about? Probably: Where would people get enough horses? And what would they do about all the horseshit? Horse pollution was bad in 1900, think how much worse it would be a century later, with so many more people riding horses?
LOL ... how times change! Thanks for posting - an excellent read.

Carl Sagan is about Carl Sagan.

Not science.

I thought he did the right thing and died. Is he still kicking?

FWIW, I've spent some time reading the comments made to the other posts of this article. Worth it.
