@kazetnagorra saidWe do NOT have a scientific consensus that says man is the main cause of global warming. You would have to poll all climate scientists to determine the consensus and that has NEVER been done.
1) Saying "the science" validates a theory and that there is "scientific consensus" are one and the same thing. Scientists are only people, they are not infallible, but who better to judge the science than scientists themselves?
2) And unless and until those "bright bulbs" do such a thing, laymen would be well-advised to trust the scientific consensus. After all, you as a layman are not in a position to judge which of the dissenters are on to something.
