Re: Best. Comment. Ever
Just a shame it's bollocks really.
The point of scientific method is that is IS by consensus.
It's totally fair to point out that that consensus changes quite a lot. This is just the kind of smokescreen deniers rely on.
Science never says 'this is the way it is', it says 'this is the way the observable facts and current knowledge suggests it is' And there will be occasional dissent, and if the dissenters are able to present a reasonable case to change the status quo, then the scientific community will change their point of view on a dime - that's why science fails as a religion - show me one of them fuckers that ever changed their mind about anything.
Let just one denier actually DO this, make a valid contribution to the science that flies in the face of current thinking and opinions will change. Seems to me all they do is stand on the sidelines bitching about points of order and outliers in the data. Looking just marginally less fuckwitted than the fox talking heads going on about how there cant be global warming cos 3/4 of the us is under 4 feet of snow this week.
If deniers did science instead of politics they would have a leg to stand on, they either wont or cant.
now I wonder why that is?
