This is a logical fallacy. Just because a majority agrees with something (for now) has no bearing on whether or not the stand is legitimate. “Global Warming” appeals to Liberal guilt and panic. It’s impossible to tell, at this point, whether there’s anything really going on because the Liberal screams of joyous self-righterousness drown out any in-depth research and discussion.

Another example or emotions creating majority experts’ “data” is human fatness: the current majority view is that fatness is a recent abnormality, when the science demonstrates is fatness is a constant human genetic characteristic, distributed on a bell curve. Just because the majority thinks something doesn’t mean they’re using science to come to that conclusion. The myth that fatness is abnormal is fueled by hatred and greed, not by reason or data. The majority of people also believe there’s an “obesity epidemic,” even though the average weights of most people have increased by less than fifteen pounds in the past thirty years. (Most weight increase is seen in the fattest people — those who’ve done the most doctor-approved starving/dieting and therefore have gained the most weight as the result of yoyo rebounding. This is also what’s going on in impoverished populations, where the food supply is unstable, yet the “cause” of fatness is poor people is continually misrepresented — with no corroberating data — as having something to do with whatever food is being ritually and obsessively hated at the moment (corn, soda, etc.) The dieting-related increases get spread out in press releases and on grant proposals over the entire population as part of the creation of the “epidemic” lie, even though significant weight gain has occurred only in genetically fat people who have also been the victims of repeated weight loss attempts or poverty.)

Also see at least 50% of all drug-related “research”. Most doctors think statins are valuable, but where’s the data?
