<p>[quote user="Euclid"]It means there is a consensus, but that does not prove their theory is correct. Reaching a conclusion does not prove the theory correct no matter how many scientists reach the same conclusion. Nobody can say for sure that a theory has been proven beyond a doubt, so anyone is free to challenge the theory and sometimes get it revised to a new conclusion. Each conslusion stands unless somebody finds a fault with it and gets it revised or rejected.[/quote]</p> <p>Though it is hard for me, here you are right. That is how science works.</p> <p>[quote user="Euclid"]But in this case, we are being told that scientists know more than we do, and because they all agree with each other, we must not question their conclusion. [/quote]</p> <p>And here you are wrong. It is not you or me who can challenge the theory. We don't have the substantial knowledge of climate models to do so. I think there are not many outside the science able to challenge. Challenging doesn't mean to say I don't believe but to show and prove were a theory might be wrong.</p> <p>If you and me are in consensus is as important as a bag of rice toppling in China.</p> <p>It is the same in most sciences or engineering sciences. Or could a layman really challenge the safety factors in construction industry?<br />Regards, Volker</p>
