I wouldn’t lump all scientists into one bin.
But when they come to a consensus on something, I might listen.

You don’t have to

That's a damn lie. They haven't come to a consensus. And science isn't about consensus it's about facts. That "97% of scientists agree" was bullsh*t.

When scientific consensus comes to a different conclusion than many people want, they reach for straws. In this case they laugh at lowering the usage of plastic straws because they won't admit the damage plastic is causing. MACS needs to espouse his view as correct even though science doesn't agree with him. Though not on the same scale, this is similar to the POV of flat earthers. I don't consider him or those like him a science denier, rather simply wrong, and tedious with his repetition.

Yep. And I'm damn sure glad Columbus reached for some straws when every scholar out there said the world was flat.

Consensus, mob rule, what's the difference? If you're on the opposite side you still get beat down. 🤦

Exactly. Like I said in another post, the same folks who call skeptics of global warming "science deniers" are the same folks who deny the science of male and female genders... xx and xy chromosomes.
