Science is not a democracy. Therefore to try to pass of global warming as real just because "98% of scientists say they agree" makes no sense at all. If 98% of psychiatrists said that all mentally ill people needed lobotomized, does that make it true? If 98% of your friends jumped off a building, would you jump, too? Rebecca McNutt
About This Quote

Science does not exist in a democracy. Only the scientists themselves can decide what is real and what is not. If they say something is true, it is true. If they say something is false, it is false.

That’s how science works. There are lots of other things we do not understand and we will never understand everything in the world, but we do know everything we need to know to make progress in our understanding.
