Apparently the Importance of Consensus Depends on What’s Being Consented To
Stated briefly, Reason’s Ronald Bailey (HT Ace) notes that the actual scientific consensus about the safety of genetically modified foods gets no respect from the hard-line anti-technology and anti-capitalist left — while the faux globaloney consensus is said to be deserving of the utmost in respect by many of those very same folks.
You see, the “good consensus” on climate change also “just happens” to be hard-line anti-technology and anti-capitalist.
I would call that a convenient consistency.
