Wikipedia Deletes “List of Scientists who Disagree with the Scientific Consensus on Global Warming†in Astonishing Act of Censorship
In another disgusting indication of where climate science/debate is at today, a handful of Wikipedia editors have “voted†to delete the immensely useful and topical page: “
List of Scientists who Disagree with the Scientific Consensus on Global Warming“…
Here’s the reasoning for the censorship given by one of the Wiki editors:
“The result was delete. This is because I see a consensus here that there is no value in having a list that combines the qualities of a) being a scientist, in the general sense of that word, and b) disagreeing with the scientific consensus on global warming.â€
In other words, this decision was apparently taken by a single individual, the ‘Editor’, in Wiki parlance, points out
Dr Roger Higgs. His/her “consensus†(ironic choice of word) is based on the online discussion among Wikipedia ‘Users’ at that site (

What qualifies the Editor to dictate that 35 to 19 constitutes a consensus, and use that claim to justify deleting a key document on arguably the most important (and most expensive) global social issue since World War Two?
