That's a nice article. I stopped reading at the word consensus. However, since you like appeals to authority, I found an article you will love.

How’s being retarded treating you?

Getting my ass a Ph.D in a hard science, how about you?
Everyone agreeing on something doesn't make it true, no matter how much you might wish it.
Consensus =/= statistics

So hows being retarded despite a ph.D in hard science feel?

>> No.4620982

Like it matters.
Are the countries that accept global warming unanimously any closer to fixing it than the US? nope
If we stop using oil, will China, Russia, Brazil, and India going to stop? Probably not
I'm not saying it's hopeless but what are you trying to prove?

Is this the compelling evidence you guys are always talking about, that I'll be branded a retard if I disagree? Nice. Way to stick to logic dude. Did you even finish college? I won't even ask what your degree was in, that would be insensitive. Shit, as an undergrad I was working on applications of line by line radiative transfer models. So what particular area of geophysical research have you been working on? Fuck it, don't answer, I'll be in bed anyways.

Appeal to authority is valid in some cases, and I believe it is appropriate in this case.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_from_authority

"The strength of this argument depends upon two factors:

1. The authority is a legitimate expert on the subject.
2. A consensus exists among legitimate experts on the matter under discussion."

1. yes
2. yes

Against the 99% of qualified climate scientists who support the consensus we have the senile (emeritus professor syndrome), the corrupt (those who have been bought off), and the unqualified.

Tragedy of the commons.
But it doesn't matter, with THORIUM and ASTEROID MINING, we will soon have infinite everything everywhere everytime.
