I am a Black Lady and ...

a Black Scientist who LOVES the SCIENTIFIC METHOD
and who rejects ALL HYPOTHESES not established by
means of the SCIENTIFIC METHOD.

A "CONSENSUS among Scientists" is not SCIENCE. A
Consensus is simply a form of POLITICS. Recall that
it was a CONSENSUS that rejected the Solar System
findings of Galileo in the 17th Century; and it was
partly in response to this ... FIASCO ... that the
SCIENTIFIC METHOD was gradually developed over
the 16th and 17th Centuries, in order to remove
POLITICS and RELIGION and EMOTION and
ECONOMICS from the analysis of ... SCIENTIFIC
EXPERIMENTS.

Today, we define a SCIENCE as a body of knowledge
that has been established by means of, and only by
means of, the SCIENTIFIC METHOD. For the EMPIRICAL
SCIENCES like Biology and Chemistry and Climatology,
the SCIENTIFIC METHOD requires that a Hypothesis
be proven/demonstrated by means of precise,
designed experiments, before this Hypothesis can be
accepted and promoted to the status of SCIENTIFIC
KNOWLEDGE.
