We have a tag for resources, a tag for references and a tag resources-references.
We should have no more than two of them, maybe even only one of them. Any thoughts which of those are the most useful?
@jennyfofenny I'm not talking about whether the Earth's climate is changing based on our actions, but whether there is a global conspiracy of scientists.
It's not something that can be proven. The onus is on those that say there is a conspiracy to prove that there is one, which is so unlikely as to be silly.
@MarkRogers It isn't, that said, it's hard to answer, since it's hard to disprove claims like that. It's like proving that god/the invisible pink unicorn/etc exist.
It isn't like scientists are all working together in some lock-step way. They are always trying to verify and disprove the findings of each other. It isn't in their self-interest.
Reading that Question, there is a serious problem in the quote. It mentions the Y2K bug as a hoax, but it was really just a misunderstanding of a collection potentially serious problems that were fixed by a lot of computer scientists.
I honestly love the question, and if it was moved, I wish that there was some way to see that it happened and where it went, but if we accept questions like that, then it opens the door for any of those comparison questions (PC vs Linux vs Mac, iPhone vs Android vs Blackberry vs WP7 vs Palm, Coke vs Pepsi, Cats vs Dogs, etc.)
