False Fears Are A Plague, A Modern

Consensus Is Invoked Only In Situations Where The Science Is Not Solid Enough.

Environmentalism Needs To Be Absolutely Based In Objective And Verifiable Science, It Needs To Be Rational, And It Needs To Be Flexible. And It Needs To Be Apolitical. To Mix Environmental Concerns With The Frantic Fantasies That People Have About One Political Party Or Another Is To Miss The Cold Truth - That There Is Very Little Difference Between The Parties, Except A Difference In Pandering Rhetoric.

Finally, I Would Remind You To Notice Where The Claim Of Consensus Is Invoked. Consensus Is Invoked Only In Situations Where The Science Is Not Solid Enough. Nobody Says The Consensus Of Scientists Agrees That E=mc2. Nobody Says The Consensus Is That The Sun Is 93 Million Miles Away. It Would Never Occur To Anyone To Speak That Way.

...scientific Power Is Like Inherited Wealth: Attained Without Discipline. You Read What Others Have Done, And You Take The Next Step. You Can Do It Very Young...there Is No Mastery, Old Scientists Are Ignored. There Is No Humility Before Nature...its A Form Of Inherited Wealth. And You Know What Assholes Congenitally Rich People Are.

I Can Tell You That Second Hand Smoke Is Not A Health Hazard To Anyone And Never Was, And The Epa Has Always Known It.
