I give you climate scientists and engineers and you dismiss that and come
back with organizations? Maybe we should let our boss's vote for us in
elections too.

You do realize most of those organizations don't study climate so rely on
the faulty IPCC report.

Here's yet another review of the consensus:

http://wattsupwiththat.com/2012/10/23/pbs-frontline-climate-change-special-cites-bogus-consensus/

Scientific theories are never proven by a show of hands, of course.
Otherwise, the Earth would still be considered flat and space travel
impossible. It is indeed those who go against the flow—independent,
original thinkers –who are usually responsible for our most meaningful
advances in science.
...
First, it is important to realize that, of the prominent national and
international science bodies that have issued official statements that are
in support of the CO2/climate crisis hypothesis, *none* released results
that show a majority of their members agreeing with the assertion.

“the president of the Royal Society of London … drafted a resolution in
favour and circulated it to other academies of science inviting co-signing.
… The president of the RSC, not a member of the [RSC’s] Academy of Science,
received the invitation. He considered it consistent with the position of
the great majority of scientists, as repeatedly but erroneously claimed by
Kyoto proponents, and so signed it. The resolution was not referred to the
Academy of Science for comment, not even to its council or president.”

...

When one eliminates reviewers with clear vested interest, we end up with a
grand total of “just seven who may have been independent and impartial”,
according to Australian climate data analyst, John McLean
(see<http://mclean.ch/climate/docs/IPCC_review_updated_analysis.pdf>
his
report). And, two of those are known to vehemently disagree with the
statement. Prominent climate scientist and IPCC insider Dr. Mike Hulme even
admits that “only a few dozen experts in the specific field of detection
and attribution studies”, not thousands as is commonly asserted by the IPCC
and others, “reached a consensus that human activities are having a
significant influence on the climate” (p. 10, 11 of Hulme’s April 12, 2010
paper in “Progress in Physical Geography” athttp://tinyurl.com/2b3cq3r). It
is travesty that the UN permits this misunderstanding to continue
uncorrected.

To meaningfully assert that there is a consensus in any field, we need to
actually have convincing evidence. And the best way to gather this evidence
is to conduct unbiased, comprehensive worldwide polls. Since this has never
been done in the vast community of scientists who research the causes of
global climate change, we simply do not know what, if any, consensus exists
among these experts. Lindzen concludes: “there is no [known] consensus,
unanimous or otherwise, about long-term climate trends and what causes
them.” Frontline did a disservice to the public telling them otherwise.
