No, you're missing my point. Who should make the consensus? Scientists or dabblers? What we are continually being told by climate change skeptics, almost all of whom are outside the scientific community, is that there is a robust debate going on. There isn't. One only need go back to the 80's and follow what happened with AIDS. Sure, there was an initial hysteria, and some bad science. But long after the disease of AIDS had been figured out (i.e. symptoms, population, retrovirus), there were "skeptics" who either a) thought AIDS was created by our government, as a result of biological weapons reasearch or b) AIDS was a punishment from God for "deviant" behaviors. I would suggest we are in this phase with climate change. In 10 years this will look like a silly debate.
