Yes, straw man arguments.
"The myth that science seeks to achieve a consensus" is not something anyone here has suggested. I certainly haven't.
"No scientist uses the phrase ‘settled science’ to support their conclusions." is also something nobody is suggesting.
"Yes, we use standards and conventions..." Nobody is saying a standard or convention constitutes a concensus.
"Scientists are human, and they're susceptible to human weakness, and the urge to conform is one of them. " Nobody is suggesting that scientific consensus is about conformity.
Fat Hurts - important question for you ... Would you say that Global warming is man-made and is caused by increasing CO2 Emissions is "settled science?" I want you to focus on the "man-made" part. Meaning, there is no use debating it - it IS settled science? I really want to hear you answer on this.
There is no use debating it with you because you are a crazy person who believes in a global scientific conspiracy.
A sane person who looks at the best available science will come to the conclusion that we must drastically cut emissions.
Climate science also tells us that if we continue with business as usual then we are looking at 3 to 5 degrees of warming, which would be a threat to all human life.
