Historically, the claim of consensus has been the first refuge of scoundrels; it is a way to avoid debate by claiming that the matter is already settled. Whenever you hear the consensus of scientists agrees on something or other, reach for your wallet, because you’re being had.

Nice find on the Crichton quote.
Take a vote, I’m sure a number of people agree with it.
Reach for your weapon, because they’re about to attempt stealing your livelihood that humans have toiled for, for millennia.

New England usually does get plastered on St Paddy’s day! 🙂
More seriously, it’s quite warm here today (44 F), but per Joe Bastardi and others, the cold is returning soon, and likely the ski areas will be operating with good conditions well past Easter.
Working in an ALL IRISH Catholic QC department in Boston, I wore orange on St Paddy’s day….

Someone recently posted a link to Crichton’s Caltech Lecture on January 17, 2003. Interesting read, thanks to whoever posted it.
