Scientific consensus??

Yup...

Scientific Consensus is NOT a synonym of "Certain Truth".

No, it's synonymous of virtually certain truth.

Scientific revolution is exceptionally rare

Wrong again. ****Licker.

Scientific Consensus applies all the way down to the most base facts such
as 1+1=2.

The consensus view that 1+1=2 is still not proven in any absolute sense.

Consensus is a collective opinion.

Correct. And collective opinions hold far, far more weight than the vapid
assertions of Carbon Industry Shills, paid warming denialists, and
uneducated fools.

"Scientific consensus" can be wrong. It is NOT scientific evidence.

No, but the consensus view is based on scientific evidence. And yes it
can be wrong, but very rarely so.

Now which to believe? The collective wisdom, and best opinion by the vast
majority of the worlds scientists? Or the constantly shifting, grasp at any
straw, pronouncements of a small band of industry shills?

Hmmmm Gee... I wonder.... Science or snake oil.

Who knows. Maybe the snake oil really is a cure all.

Right?
