CONSENSUS, CONSENSUS, CONSENSUS! We hear that constantly from the Far-Left, as they seek to sneer down their "superior" noses, to denigrate those who reject their higher taxes and regulations agenda, to "save us" from the disaster of Global Warming (now, changed to "Climate Change"). Another example of how important it is to DEFINE YOUR TERMS, if you are honestly motivated by the desire to defeat deliberate misinformation with TRUTH. One of the Hallmarks of a pattern of deliberate deception, is the refusal to DEFINE THEIR TERMS. Instead, they just keep regurgitating, over and over, some word or phrase which has not been precisely defined. In the case of the AGW scam, the predominant word used constantly to promote the bogus AGW agenda, is "CONSENSUS." How often have you heard the Left define that term? How often have they told you what it really means, in the context of this AGW agenda? Until now, I have NEVER heard any of them explain what sceintific "consensus" actually means, in relation to their AGW claim. AGNOTOLOGY at its worst! The fly in the oinment: The recent flooding of the Internet with the claim that the latest study showed that consensus among the scientific "experts" (that the bogus AGW scam was valid) was at 97.1%, turns out to be way, way, off the mark. "...inspection of a claim by Cook et al. (Environ Res Lett 8:024024, 2013) of 97.1 % consensus, heavily relied upon by Bedford and Cook, shows just 0.3 % endorsement of the standard definition of consensus: that most warming since 1950 is anthropogenic." In other words, only 0.3% of "expert" climate scientists actually agree that global warming since 1950, is CAUSED by the fossil fuel activities of man! This is a perfect example of why those who intend to deceive, avoid precise definitions of their terms/phrases, at all costs. Because precision in language-concept (word) communications, lays them open to their arguments being shown as contradictory and/or without valid scientific evidence, to support their position. To put it bluntly: If you want to keep your lies from being exposed, NEVER, NEVER define your terms. To the contrary, do all you can to obfuscate the language. Find as many different words, to allegedly mean the same "thing," as possible. And, also use specific words to mean as many different "things" as possible. Ever notice how so many politicians do that as a matter of habit? Which goes to show that many of the AGW "scientists" are better viewed, not as SCIENCE scientists, but as POLITICAL Scientists. junkscience/2013/09/02/study-claimed-warmist-consensus-of-97-1-actually-only-0-3/
