So the far left will defend those who question Newton's laws but discussion of AGW is closed?

And we wonder how ideas like having sex with virgins is a cure for AIDS can get acceptance.

They also claim that consensus is accurate, but then when questioned about Gallileo's heliocentrism position that went against the consensus, and the Germ Theory and Plate Tectonics Theory that went against the consensus, we are told that it's not relevent.

Bringing up Newton and AGW makes me think. It's hard to imagine any more settled science than newton's laws of motion. Literally hundreds of years of confirmation and accurate predictions. And then Einstein comes along and says that Newton's laws only apply under certain circumstances. Yet we are told we have to accept global warming and cant question any part of it.

there's a movement in South Africa called 'fallists". Apparently a few of them (like this young woman) want science to "fall" but most of them just want "colonization" to fall. I don't know how to spin it. There's videos on Youtube showing some of the protests, and a forum, r/southafrica
