Sorry not true. There is no overwhelming consensus, or even broad agreement among the scientific community about human effects on global warming. Climate change is happening and always will, but exactly what our contribution to it is is still very much up for debate.
the problem is that no rational debate has taken place with all views aired and a common consensus reached. There are just some who shout louder than the rest, and the media being very biased in their reporting.
