Consensus?

This article emphasizes the strength of the consensus, even back in the early days.

And of course a refutation of this.

Then a expose of that. Although the source is rather unfortunate. Media Watch tends to restrict its targets to those who don't share its 'soft left' leanings.

Then a commentor on this site - which seems to have some clear arguments for CAGW without excessive name-calling - disputes the consensus by citing these skeptics.

There were of course some dud names in the Oregon Petition, but apparently it's now cleaned up and represents genuine dissenters.
