Global warming and scientific consensus

[TimberWolf]

Not to mention mathematical statistics which is the science of drawing inferences from experimental data correctly (i.e. avoiding bias).

That is not science. Science is empirical. To paraphrase Feynman: it doesn't matter what the mathematics says, or what a scientist says, no matter how important he may be <laughter from audience>, if experiment conflicts with theory, that theory is wrong.

Your scientific intuition is almost non-existent.

I was using "science" in the sense of being opposite to "art".
I thought that was obvious from the context. Mea culpa.
One thing that both science and maths share (if done right) is an emphasis on logic as opposed to human subjectivity with all its biases, and this is what I meant.
