Quote:Considering that heard of reports throughout the Wild West (I like the History Channel) that call ball lightning a legend from the 1880s, Id say it made a impression on Russia at least however not so much the US scientists.
it's well-known that ball lightning killed a Russian scientist who had been attending a meeting of the Academy of Sciences in 1753.
Also, this is Tesla youre talking about here TESLA. That whole Edison/Tesla, DC/AC fight kind of kills your point a bit. That is a classic of propaganda wars for consensus in science. Its literally bribery (funding and otherwise) based consensus of scientists in action. Its a classic example.
I don't think I need to point out anything else in this post after you try to prove MANMADE Global Warming by true scientific consensus.
I'll hit other points later, but I think you just based your right to talk about consensus in science on The Tesla/Edision wars not happening.
