Debate on Consensus in Science

[Rush Limbaugh] The global warming crowd is trying to say that manmade global warming is true because of consensus of human beings (disguised as scientists) say it's happening! What I'm telling you is those people have no more right to proclaim something to be scientifically true simply because they agree with each other or are scientists. Something is true in science or not independent of what anybody thinks about it. I don't know what's so hard to understand about this. There's nothing "democratic" about science. A majority in anything has zilch to do with it. The sun... Let me put it this way: The Earth does not revolve around the sun because of the consensus of people says so.

Mitt Romney Wins Over Media by Opposing Rush on Climate Change

RUSH: You know, folks, belief in manmade global warming is a lot like believing in Santa Claus. It's fun. It's fun to believe in it for a while when you're a kid, when you're a child, but it's a costly myth to continue believing in as you grow older -- and it's certainly not the kind of thing any serious political candidate ought to believe in. I continue to be struck by just how imprisoned the so-called informed and educated and smart people among us are. All the people in this sound bite montage that we just played? Some leftist somewhere one day said, "There's global warming," and there is. Don't even question it. It just is. Don't even challenge it as a journalist. You don't even have any curiosity about it. Somebody comes along and asks, "Is it true," and they're an automatic crackpot oddball.

Harsh winter strands antelope at Montana reservoir | Reuters

(Reuters) - A harsh winter has stranded more than 2,500 pronghorn antelope at Montana's Fort Peck Reservoir and nearly all are expected to die this summer, wildlife managers said.

Big game animals in many parts of the West are recovering from an unusually cold winter that killed many and left several hundred frozen antelope carcasses in open fields.

Pronghorn antelope have been hit hard in eastern and northeastern Montana, where wildlife managers have said this season's die-off looks to be the worst in 30-plus years.
