    Science is not a popularity contest.

    Consensus obviously is...in science or anything else. Peer review in particular requires it though "Popularity" is not the terminology used.

    Consensus is what brought us a flat Earth and Galileo's conviction of heresy.

    Perhaps...though those were more ignorance and politics than consensus. A bit like you are doing.

    It's exactly what the left is doing. They want to throw climate skeptics in prison.





    These two videos show that conventional wisdom has a huge flaw.

    I like a few of the comments section of your article.

    Why is it foolish to point out differences in conventional wisdom?
