At one time phrenology was considered to be real because it was plausible and a consensus of very well educated scientist said it was real.
Eugenics is another scientific field where the data was viewed as plausible, so the consensus of scientist believed that it was real. Some today still believe that eugenics is real.
Then there were the scientists and experts who claimed that planes would drop out of the sky, banks would lose all our money, the stock market would crash, toasters would fail, gas pumps would be inoperable, cars would stop working at the stroke of midnight on Jan 1, 2000 because of the Y2K problem.
Time as proved all these experts wrong. How much longer will it be before we put the global warming alarmist into this group?
