A contrarian is someone who poses as a skeptic, refusing to accept consensus conclusions in science on the ground that there is still some uncertainty.
Quote:"That doesn’t mean that scientific consensus is right in every instance. There are famous examples, in fact, of when it was proved wrong: Galileo comes to mind, as does a lowly patent clerk named Einstein. In the vast majority of modern cases, however, scientific consensus can be expected to hold up under scrutiny precisely because it was reached through a lengthy and rigorous process of professional skepticism and criticism."

Okay, this post is very confusing. It's like a riddle. So, you hate Al Gore because he.... invented snow? Are you allowed to hate Al Gore since you don't even live in the US? He should be nothing to you. Nothing is good. I love nothing. Well, now, that just didn't come out quite right, I love plenty of things. Oh hell, never mind, I think I have brain freeze :-)
Wally, you do this to me all the time, don't you? Here, Wally, I have a lovely pot, could you hand me a spoon? Thanks, you are a dear.
