Your view is based on 'scientific consensus'. (As an aside, the believers of man-made climate change rely on scientific consensus as the basis for their belief. But there's just one problem: there is no empirical scientific evidence to substantiate the hypothesis that anthropogenic CO2 emissions cause dangerous global warming.)
Joel Brind, a professor of biology and endocrinology at Baruch College, takes issue with 'scientific consensus ', writing that "significant scientific studies almost always go against the scientific consensus." He continues: "If one really examines the so-called 'high quality studies' that do not show the abortion-breast cancer link, and also the critiques I and my colleagues have published in the same, peer-reviewed journals over the years (since 1996), one can appreciate the scandalous abuse of science that has permeated the most prestigious journals in recent years."
