    Consensus of 1

    For every consensus of 1 that's proven right, there are a 1000 cranks and idiots. I'm so tired of so-called individualists name checking Einstein and Galileo as a rationalization for their failures. Sorry, I mean, their maverick visionary genius.

    There's a way to prove whether or not a theory is correct: it's called the Scientific Method. So far, it's very much on the side of those who believe that we've heavily affected the globe's climate.
