  1. Orange Canna Lily that survived two Pennsylvania winters. Climate change is real, happening now, and overwhelmingly caused by human activities, with a scientific consensus of 97% or more, confirmed by major scientific bodies like NASA and the IPCC. #globalwarming #climatechange #climate #earth #motherearth #scientificconsensus

  7. "Climate skeptics" are a thing of the past?

    No. That's why we're here.

    Bogus #ClimateSkepticism comes in various flavors. Many so-called skeptics are indeed cranks but others come in the passive form, their basis of doubt or disbelief mired in innocent ignorance.

    Innocent ignorance can be fostered, cultivated-- and that's exactly what's happened over the course of decades in connection with #ScientificConsensus on #ClimateChange.

  12. "Scientists and those who champion them should never close ranks against empirical challenge and criticism."

    George Monbiot on how criticism of the framing of CFS/ME as a psychiatric illness was portrayed as abusive to delegitimise patient concerns.

    What's a bit of a shame is that people with the "inside baseball" perspective constantly refer to consensus, without realizing that in common parlance it doesn't mean what's intended to be communicated. Scientific consensus isn't the same as consensus on what pizza to buy, a pitfall.

    We (@SkepticalScience) took a stab at filling in this gap, because a widely accessible and reasonably complete explanation wasn't available.

  22. #ScientificConsensus with Dr John Cook

    Misconceptions about consensus in science abound (and are sometimes encouraged). It it a popularity contest? Mindless conformity? If not those, what? To answer these and many other questions, Melanie Trecek-King - who runs the "Thinking is Power" website - talked with John Cook about the scientific consensus in general and about his study finding 97% consensus about human-cased climate change in particular.

  27. It matters who does science

    A monolithic group of scientists will bring many of the same preconceived notions to their work. But a group of many backgrounds will bring different points of view that decrease the chance that one prevailing set of views will bias the outcome. This means that scientific consensus can be reached faster and with greater reliability. It also means that the applications and implications will be more just for all.

  32. @StrassenKatze There was a long scientific debate since the mid-1800s about the origins of #birds — whether they came from #dinosaurs or not. The scientific consensus that birds are dinosaurs only came about around 2011!

  36. If 97 engineers told you that driving across a new bridge would result in the bridge's collapse and your death, would you follow the advice of the other 3? If you deny #scientificconsensus in favor of fringe science, you are doing just that. The fringe science may be correct, but don't rush to judgement and trust the #scientificmethod that has worked for hundreds of years.

    Thanks to @neiltyson for this clear analogy of mainstream vs fringe #science

  38. Deadly familiar tripping point when talking about consensus on climate change: "just because a lot of people agree doesn't mean it's true."

    Remember to define terms. "Scientific consensus" isn't the same as agreeing what flavor of pizza to buy. Scientific consensus is a funnel made of mutually supportive theories & research findings, squeezing agreement into the same container.
