The perversion of science

Briggsy is one of the gallant thousand:

I am one of the more than one thousand scientists and related professionals who signed the World Climate Declaration, an effort started by a friend of ours Marcel Crok and Guus Berkhout.

Since so many of us say there is no climate crisis, and those in the Consensus say there is, it means we have to understand exactly what this Consensus is. 

The Consensus is that collection of scientists who are led by Experts and followed by True Believers. Experts, we recall, are those who have expertise, credentials, and appointments, the folks who supply The Science to the regime. True Believers are any however minimally trained persons who work with or for the Experts.

It started long before the hockey stick, hundreds of years before, Wiki does not even try to hide it or its purpose:

The Invisible College has been described as a precursor group to the Royal Society of London, consisting of a number of natural philosophers around Robert Boyle. The concept of "invisible college" is mentioned in German Rosicrucian pamphlets in the early 17th century.

Essentially, it was about replacing one religion with another, with added dogma. The Order of the Rosy Cross is a good starting point, you might then like to explore the hijacking of the Enlightenment.  Thus the NPCC was, then, nothing new but following an old pattern of coercion to comply with the official Science, as decreed by your betters.
