The "consensus" on climate change is more political than scientific. Here are some fun quotations on that topic:
"All Scientists are Skeptics." ~Professor Bob Carter
"Whenever someone asserts that a scientific question is “settled,” they tell me immediately that they don’t understand the first thing about science. Science is never settled." Dr David Deming
"Perhaps the most frustrating aspect of the science of climate change is the lack of any real substance in attempts to justify the hypothesis." ~Professor Stewart Franks
"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed — and hence clamorous to be led to safety — by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." H.L. Mencken, famous columnist
"The only way to get our society to truly change is to frighten people with the possibility of a catastrophe." Emeritus professor Daniel Botkin
"I believe it is appropriate to have an over-representation of factual presentations on how dangerous it is, as a predicate for opening up the audience to listen to what the solutions are, and how hopeful it is that we are going to solve this crisis." Al Gore
Some are projecting global cooling instead of warming:

And, as usual, Tony Heller points out the nonsense being reported in the mass media:

More Desperate Criminal Behavior From Climate Scientists
Climate scientist criminals have gotten so desperate, they are trying to blame record Antarctic Sea ice on global warming.
These crooks don’t even make any attempt to mask their fraud.
That interpretation tends to irk climate scientists, who point out that the Antarctic’s gain in sea ice is more than canceled out by the much larger melting of ice in the Arctic, so that the overall pattern is one of melting sea ice.
That claim is utter nonsense. For the past three years, global sea ice area has been averaging above normal.
Antarctic sea ice is expanding because Antarctica is getting colder. The waters around Antarctica have been persistently below normal temperature for several years.
NASA has known for years that Antarctica is cooling.
Shindell and Schmidt 2004
Shindell, D.T., and G.A. Schmidt 2004. Southern Hemisphere climate response to ozone changes and greenhouse gas increases. Geophys. Res. Lett. 31, L18209, doi:10.1029/2004GL020724.While most of the Earth warmed rapidly during recent decades, surface temperatures decreased significantly over most of Antarctica.
When that became a political problem for them, they simply changed the data.
The level of fraud from these criminals is breathtaking. They don’t make any attempt to be honest or accurate anymore. It is all about protecting their scam.
