Embedded in this is this childish view that everyone is owed a great quality of life, and even worse, any failure to receive that is the fault, not of nature, but of the selfish failings of other men.

"I would remind you to notice where the claim of consensus is invoked. Consensus is invoked only in situations where the science is not solid enough. Nobody says the consensus of scientists agrees that E=mc^2. Nobody says the consensus is that the sun is 93 million miles away. It would never occur to anyone to speak that way."
