The emphasis on consensus leads to group polarization, in which a group’s positions become more extreme than any individual would come up with. Alarmist climate science is a textbook example of groupthink in action. http://wattsupwiththat.com/2012/04/30/why-climate-science-is-a-textbook-example-of-groupthink/ |
The problem is that the consensus is generally considered by individuals to be conservative.
The IPCC report (which I'm taking to be the 'consensus' view) is considered by many individual climate scientists to always take the lowest bound of the models - the lowest amount of warming that will occur, the lowest amount of sea level rise that will result etc.
@Soundwave. Do you have any science to back up climate change being unpredictable?
@The hydrogen debate. As useful as hydrogen fuel could be it simply isn't practical in vehicles because of the fact that it's pretty damned unstable. Electricity (from fusion hopefully) will be the thing to replace petrol.
