There can be no consensus in science. In science, a thing either is or it isn't. Planetary climate change is an historical fact. It is. Whether humanity has any major influence on that, well, it doesn't. Most of the evidence that claims humanity is responsible has been shown to be mostly fraudulent.
Can some reasonable things be done to reduce the rather minor impact man has on his environment? Well, we have done so. More so in the USA than anywhere. But the jury is still out on whether we should continue on the foolish path we've been on with regard to stultifying progress in all the ways that has caused man to slowly be able to live a life that is not rough, miserable and short. The conversion of our surroundings in a thoughtful and careful way into energy is the lifeblood of a progressive life.
The fact that we have not exploited our domestic on and offshore resources in oil, gas and coal since the Arab Energy Embargo of 1974 so that we could have become independent of those resources from places that were one step above living in a cave and have a stone age, tribalist, misogynist, murderous religious expansionist culture has been the single greatest sin perpetrated on Western Civilization in general and America specifically by the political establishment and so called progressive movement.
