WSJ Opinion Warns of the 'Consensus Trap' on Covid and Climate
Original: Opinion | Covid, Climate and the ‘Consensus Trap’
A Wall Street Journal opinion piece argues that scientific consensus on Covid policies and climate change can become a 'consensus trap,' discouraging debate and dissent. The author contends that treating consensus as unquestionable risks stifling inquiry and better policy. The argument is drawing attention amid ongoing political fights over pandemic lessons and climate policy.
Why now: Debates over how much dissent from scientific consensus is legitimate remain heated in politics and media.
