“There is a scientific consensus” “No, there isn’t” “Yes, there is” “No, there isn’t”

Few debates are more silly than an argument over whether consensus exists on a subject. If the argument exists, consensus does not.

Few debates are more silly than an argument over whether consensus exists on a subject. If the argument exists, consensus does not.

Bingo.

And no one is seeking consensus over say gravity. You do not need to have consensus over something that you can prove with repeatable testing under lab conditions. You don't need consensus over something that is provable mathematically.

You only need consensus over academic wild goose chases you are trying to get funding for.
