Opinion: Covid, Climate and the 'Consensus Trap'
Original: Opinion | Covid, Climate and the ‘Consensus Trap’
A Wall Street Journal opinion piece argues that scientific consensus on issues like Covid-19 and climate change can become a 'consensus trap,' where dissenting questions are dismissed and trust erodes. The author contends that treating consensus as settled authority stifles legitimate debate and undermines public confidence in science.
Why now: The argument reignites debate over how scientific consensus should be handled in highly polarised policy areas like pandemics and climate.
