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.
Sadly, all alarmists are incapable of understanding what argumentum ad populum means; and worse: that it’s a fallacy, and what that means.

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.

As I told my son, if anyone mentions a “consensus,” they are talking politics and not science. Consensus is not a part of the scientific method.
