Does (climate) science need to be consensual to be authoritative?

(13 February)  “Does (climate) science need to be consensual to be authoritative?”  This was the title of my talk at last week’s STEPS Centre Conference on ‘Credibility across cultures‘.  A longer version of this is being prepared for a book, but I have posted here a summary of my argument.  It has also been picked up by UK Research Fortnight publication.
