This describes many "consensuses" in social psychology (including but not not just politicized ones). "Consensus" is a political argument. Validity and strength of underlying evidence is a scientific argument.https://twitter.com/Jon_StewartMill/status/1020094940167254022 …

There's lots of climate science surveys too with congruent results. That consensus is real enough. You can survey people and control for political imbalance in the results.

oh boy. I was not intending to contest the reality of that consensus -- or of its conclusions. my only pt was that there can be a diff b/w consensus as "what most scientists believe" and as "what most of the articles say."

"Survey" is used pretty loosely there. Text searches of abstracts isn't what is generally considered a "survey". And authors reviewing their own works doesn't quite... smell right.

I think Pew polls have come in about 87%. Oddly enough that is the same number that agree with consensus on evolution. (US results only)
