That is what has become confusing. That is what you folks need to clarify. I have read all of the above positions and if I attempt to discuss one of those postitions someone else ends up arguing another one to supposedly counter what was put on the table.

If you read the most recent IPCC report or policymakers summary or the statement by the 11 National Acadamies of Sciences or the the summaries from the American Meteorological Society, the American Geophysical Union, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)....you would know what is meant by "consensus". If it is confusing than I can only conclude that you havent read the reports or policy statements.
Until you read those reports, I dont see the point of further discussion.
