No consensus there
While Madman Hansen continues to pour out his toxic nonsensical gibbers, and his supine cult followers in other branches of government and academia and media and churches continue to obey him blindly, other parts of NASA are mysteriously able to avoid Consensus "Science" and Fashionable "Science".
I note that the latest Mars rover has landed on an alluvial fan, where the silt deposits are likely to show the presence or absence of life.
The Mars folks at NASA are casually using earthy words like delta and channel, fully adapted to the idea that Mars had lakes, rivers and oceans just like Earth. This idea is quite recent by Kuhnian standards. Until 30 years ago the absolute Consensus was that Mars was permanently dry and dead. Any other idea was risible and ridiculous. We learned in school about Schiaparelli's old and "stupid" image of canals on Mars. The ridicule was boosted by an intentional mistranslation: Schiaparelli wrote canali which means channels, not canals.
These Mars folks are clearly able to swing with the facts. They were persuaded by their own observations to abandon the old Consensus.
Maybe they could teach a few things to the Climate Criminals in another section of NASA... No they couldn't. You can't teach mass-murdering psychopaths. They will just keep killing and killing and killing and killing and killing and killing until they are locked up or killed. ¶ 2:45 AM
