Sadly, the lie about the warming trend is being repeated more often than the truth, so obviously people are going to believe the one they hear most often.  I know you have faith in the lie, so no amount of evidence is going to change your mind.  But some of your readers may be open to embracing reality.  I&#039;d recommend they go elsewhere for their climate news.  Start at the link above which debunks, again, the nonsense about how there&#039;s been no warming in the last ten years (eight of which were in the hottest ten years ever recorded).</description>

Dr. Koop announced that the American diet was a problem of “comparable” magnitude, chiefly because of the high-fat foods that were causing coronary heart disease and other deadly ailments.

...

Dr. Koop was expressing the &lt;strong&gt;consensus&lt;/strong&gt;. He, like the architects of the federal “food pyramid” telling Americans what to eat, went wrong by listening to everyone else. He was caught in what social scientists call a &lt;em&gt;cascade&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

The recent history of consensuses is pretty bad .. global cooling in 1975, high-fat foods will kill you in 1988, WMD in Iraq in 2003, and today, AGW (Anthropogenic Global Warming).  Everyone knew they were true, but no one could actually prove it conclusively.  There was, and still is, little or no hard science to back up these claims, but everyone knows, &lt;em&gt;or at least knew&lt;/em&gt;, them to be true.</description>
