 Wait a moment, I'll stop you there at the start. Scientific consensus is where scientists agree about something (scientific). In this case human caused climate change. Of course there are always nay-sayers, who disagree even when scientific facts stare them right in the face. Lay people get confused easily by these people, so leave it to experts to correctly digest available scientific information and simply just listen to what they say and follow their instructions. They're the experts.
