In statistics what one person thinks is meaningless. I guess you haven't noticed that human beings are both crazy and dishonest. You can always find a few people who will say that the earth is flat. 6% of scientists are Republicans which is still nuts as they do not even believe in evolution. A long settled science.

That is why the size of a population you're studying is important in statistics for reliability and predictability. The larger the population the better the reliability and the better the predictability. It is basic statistics.

It Is the 97% of all the top scientists in the world that is what you should be looking at. The study that came out from MIT, showing a 5.1 heat increase by the end of the century and involved the entire University, not one person who has either sold out been corrupted.

Is very seldom that one person is going to be right on scientific matters and the vast preponderance of other scientists wrong. Sure you can find exceptions, but they are not the rule.

You are a true believer. You world is a closed circle of dogma. The only thing you believe is that which comes from inside your dogma. You are incapable of changing your mind or it seems learning anything.

You spend every post defending outrageous positions. And cavalierally attacking subjects you are not qualified to attack. And just like Trump, you pay no attention to whether stuff is true or not, you just throw it on the wall to see if it sticks.
