    Nick, please remind us all of the statistical significance of "scientific consensus"?

    I'm sure if you go back far enough you could find a "scientific consensus" that the sun revolves around the earth.

    Nice. Maybe if you doubt the scientific consensus about gravity you can fly around in anti-gravity shoes. Or maybe you'll fall on your ass.

    Well, more like 2nd greatest shortcoming. Our hubris has to be number one.

  • Everything is caused by global warming... and vice versa.

  • hwinva

    No, silly. Everything is caused by the Reagan Administration (and its "budget cuts").

  • muirgeo

    You forgot severe erosion of the liberal (classic) economic ideology.

    It's like the Who Moved my Cheese of the new millennium!
