Consensus scientists preached that the sun and stars revolved around the Earth. Consensus scientists preached that the world was flat. Consensus scientists declared in the 70's that a new ice age was starting.

No. There was no such scientific consensus or confidence in climatology during the 70's. For instance, the National Academy of Sciences reported:
Quote:

The 1975 NAS report titled "Understanding Climate Change: A Program for Action" did not make predictions, stating in fact that "we do not have a good quantitative understanding of our climate machine and what determines its course. Without the fundamental understanding, it does not seem possible to predict climate."

The climates of the earth have always been changing, and they will doubtless continue to do so in the future. How large these future changes will be, and where and how rapidly they will occur, we do not know.

Consensus scientists declared 2006 would be a worse hurricane year than 2005.
|
Worse than 2005? An above normal season was predicted, with a confidence level of 80%, revised down to 75%. Thus, we fell into the other 20-25% of that prediction. Year to year events are more difficult to predict than the overall climate trend.

And now, the consensus scientists are so scared of being called names by the non-scientist Leftist Loons and their non-scientist media, that they cast aside their common sense in ignoring all climate changes in Earth's history prior to human existence, as well as climate changes on planets never hosting human life.

You do have quite a contempt for science, except such rhetoric can be reversed. Yesterday's flat-Earthers are todays global warming skeptics. It wasn't long ago that there was a significant following in the Flat Earth Society. Some haven't caught up yet.

Why can't you devotees the Algore religion answer the obvious questions? It's only because common sense and factual occurrances don't fit in the data for the pre-determined conslusion you desired, and for your current excuse for demanding humanity give up our freedom and wealth to the elitist manipulators.

It's all a vast leftwing conspiracy...

Algore himself is so concerned that genuine scientists are beginning to say "the king has no new clothes on," that he simply dictated his declaration that "the debate on global warming is over."

Which genuine scientists? There are so few of them that challenge anthrogenic causation to begin with. That's why it's called "scientific consensus". That term wasn't being used until the overwhelming majority of scientists agreed. Al Gore didn't invent it despite your faith in him.
