When and how to doubt a scientific consensus

  • Resumen

  • This podcast explores the idea of scientific consensus and offers reasons for questioning it. The first source, by Scott Adams, presents a list of five steps for evaluating scientific claims, emphasizing the need for skepticism in light of potential bias and unreliability within scientific research. The second source, by Jay Richards, focuses on the specific case of climate change and outlines 12 signs that should raise suspicion about claims of scientific consensus, arguing that such claims are often used to advance political agendas or to marginalize dissenting viewpoints. Both sources ultimately caution against blindly accepting pronouncements of scientific consensus and advocate for critical thinking and independent evaluation of evidence.
