To pull out some Greek philosophy trick crying out
Ad populum to cover what is obviously a simply fact says more
about your faith then it does mine.
«Suddenly I don't think that I have all the facts, that the sober analysis of competing hypotheses has not taken place, that the global consensus often bandied
about is a fallacy — a variation of
ad populum argument — and that our nation can not commit itself to irrevocable courses of actions based on compromised science.»
