Well, these bogus consensuses (consensi?) need to be shattered. Total herd mentality science, with a dose of echo chamber and confirmation bias.
Considerable presence" of skeptics
The American Physical Society, an organization representing nearly 50,000 physicists, has reversed its stance on climate change and is now proclaiming that many of its members disbelieve in human-induced global warming. The APS is also sponsoring public debate on the validity of global warming science. The leadership of the society had previously called the evidence for global warming "incontrovertible."
New Rule -- any scientist or scientific organization that refuses to debate or discuss a scientific topic in their own field of expertise is probably masking some serious doubt about their views and is merely trying to prevent whatever petty financial, sociological or cultural fiefdom from ordinary scrutiny.
We are pleased.
Update: After publication of this story, the APS responded with a statement that its Physics and Society Forum is merely one unit within the APS, and its views do not reflect those of the Society at large.
They responded harsher apparently:
