Somebody posted that chart at ZDNet, and my response was:

First off, "consensus" is NOT science. Consensus is pretty easy to attain when the proponents and backers of an idea are all predisposed to believing what is "preached" to them.

How many of those in the consensus chart represent the opposite "science" (and I do mean "science" and not opinion).

Real science NEVER works with consensus. Real science works with facts, and not opinion, nor with agendas.

One could easily gather up 3000 real scientists, and those scientists would easily dispute the "consensus science" from the consensus "scientists". Consensus is something that works in the realm of opinion, and is used very often when making political decisions. With science, the precision factor invalidates any science which doesn't conform to being based on just the facts.

BTW, here's that discussion:
