Interesting quote. As for climate science by consensus, rather than illuminate the science it clouds in in intense emotion. Emotion clouds judgment and intense emotion intensely clouds judgment. For instance it blinds people to the lack of a cause and effect relationship between carbon dioxide and the atmospheric average temperature. Why is it that most U.S. state highest temperature readings are not increasing along with the average temperature? Why is it that the greatest greenhouse gas on earth is water vapor is not discussed but a comparatively small quantity of carbon dioxide is supposed to be driving global temperature. I think we have a lot to learn.
