Who wants to place a bet that this started when they started getting their asses kicked on global warming debates?
Yup that’s what I was taught in engineering school.... check popular consensus and proceed full speed ahead. /s
In other words, we don’t want to take the time or spend the money to have Moderators on our site so take your discussion somewhere else that cares.

Q: How can you tell when one-side is losing a debate?
A: They cut off debate.
Bunch of quacks . . .
A politically motivated, decades-long war on expertise has eroded the popular consensus on a wide variety of scientifically validated topics.
Yep. And it's about damned time.
Case in point - the 1984 NIH Consensus Conference on Cholesterol. After decades of scientific studies that had persistently shown no relationship between saturated fat in the diet and heart disease, a carefully packed government committee, ignored the results and declared a "consensus".
And proceeded to sentence millions of americans to obesity, diabetes, heart disease, etc.
But it's taken 20 years for the story of how business interests manipulated the research, the grant funding, and the peer review process, to ensure that evidence exonerating healthy animal fat, and placing the blame where it belonged, on sugar, refined carbohydrates, trans fats, and industrial seed oils, never made it into the discussion.
It was so much easier to control the process, back in pre-internet days, when control of the committees and control of the media made sure that dissenting voices were never heard.
Taking that bet would be like taking pablum money from a baby. LOL
No doubt about it. Can’t have the natives outing the magazine for jumping on board the goreball worming nonsense.
Will have to qualify this saying I’ve not follow Popular Science’s position on Global Warming. If they did agree with the “man made myth”, they deserve what they get for it.
If you can’t take the heat, get outvof the kitchen.
Precious.
Yup, I understand that is the new “Scientific Method”! :>)
See I spent all that money when it could have been done for so much less ;)
This is what Popular Science is reduced to?

Interesting trend.
