I'll raise you.Consensus of peers is required for wide acceptance of scientific knowledge.
At one time there was great consensus that the Earth was flat.
But hey, there ya go.
At one time there was consensus that the sun, planets and entire universe revolved around the Earf....It was the consensus of all the people privy to the "secret and sacred knowledge", who subsequently rat fucked and branded the man who questioned their dubious conclusions a heretic.
Sound familiar?
Yeah, and how was it determined that this was incorrect? Scientific theory and testing. You can't come to a conclusion without a theory and a means of testing it. What you're doing is denying any chance of man made global warming because we haven't reached a position of undeniable certainty. Even though we are working towards it and the data continues to mount that is showing that man made global warming does in fact exist.
You are actually positioning yourself as part of the group of people who still do think the earth is flat and that the earth is the center of the Universe. Science, testing and exploration for greater knowledge revealed those to be false. Science and knowledge, too things you love to ignore. Congrats on being a part of "The earth is definitely flat" crowd.
