Consensus =! fact . In fact, there is no option in the scientific method for consensus to mean anything.
Currently, the existence of the Higgs Boson is hypothetical, until the discovery can be replicated numerous times and become a theory, which is a generally accepted scientific fact. One test showing the Higgs Boson particle does not turn it into theory, it merely means that other scientists now have a framework to prove the hypothesis.
That's what happens when people forget that FDR was a progressive Democrat. The same people imprisoned for no reason turned around and voted for the next progressive Democrat selling snake oil.
Ah, so sorry that I was unable to appeal to your sophisticated, ivy-league, cigar-smoking jacket refined sensibilities. Some of us live in the real world, watch football, eat chips and dip, drink soda, and actually have to answer the door for ourselves because a butler is too expensive.
If I wanted to read a book on the subject, I would read a book. If I wanted to watch a TV interview, I would have watched a TV interview. I wanted to read a question and answer article.

How do fossil fuels cause rainbows to perish? All you need is humidity and a light source. I can make a rainbow in a cave 3,000 feet underground. I can make a rainbow on Mars. I can make a rainbow while eating green eggs and ham said Sam I Am
Before a environmentalist article is posted on Slashdot, telling us that children, baby seals, puppies, and rainbows will all perish if we extract this natural gas.
Yes. I thought questions and answers were supposed to be in the format of questions and answers. Not in the form of an essay or lecture. If I wanted a lecture, I would pay $2,500 to sit in a class and listen to one.
As with all "global warming" topics, I can divide the opinions based on their mod points: [-1,1] = "global warming is a farce" [2,5] = "global warming is supported by a majority of scientists, debate over, hand over the keys to your SUV"

Or you could watch C-SPAN and wait for their mouths to move
So tell me, how has Twitter stopped the numerous stupid political decisions since 2006?
They will need you back when the newbie crashes and burns.
FTFY
I wish I had this problem in my life... too much gold!
Did anyone else go right here?

Government employees cannot get fired for incompetence, only promoted to reduce the risk of a technical mistake being made.

Hope and "look at all that change left in your bank account"
I'm Barack Obama, and I approve this message.
Apparently they give out PhD's for reinventing the wheel. In that case, my PhD Thesis will involve flying a kite during a lightening storm.

Arguing philosophy and perceptions of reality is a very poor fallback argument in this case. Did the universe exist before you were born?

It's not his prose. It's the lack of answering questions. A traditional Question and Answer session goes like this:
Question?
Answer.
Question?
Answer.
I only saw one question answered, which was drawn out into a 2-part tangent.
Yes. I thought questions and answers were supposed to be in the format of questions and answers. Not in the form of an essay or lecture. If I wanted a lecture, I would pay $2,500 to sit in a class and listen to one.
Feel like Charlie Brown sitting in the classroom, with the teacher chatting away unintelligibly?
I thought that was Sean White. My bad....
So you think some government agency should have GPS trackers on cars to monitor speed?
What could possibly go wrong with a government agency knowing the location, velocity, and owner of every car on the road at any given time?
Most slashdotters have been waiting 20+ years for a hot girl to be interested in us, what's another 20?
Those are called androids. Not clones.
The only thing greater than me, would be to have 12 clones of me. Hopefully they also have a compact clone model, so I can call him "mini-me."
Hm, almost like it's cyclic.
You might be on to something here....

Oh really now? So I missed a number and Obamacare is going to cost the US over $700 million per day.
