Lama, I am laughing! The guy you hang your hat on is not even a scientist, he is a Business Professor!

Here is a Google Scholar search under "anthropogenic climate change". What is Google Scholar, you ask:

What is Google Scholar?
Google Scholar provides a simple way to broadly search for scholarly literature. Google Scholar helps you identify the most relevant research across the world of scholarly research.

Here are the 60,900 hits that discuss how we are changing our climate.:

Lama,
One report in particular was specifically about the "disagreement" that you think exists.
BEYOND THE IVORY TOWER:
The Scientific Consensus on Climate Change



"That hypothesis was tested by analyzing 928 abstracts, published in refereed scientific journals between 1993 and 2003, and listed in the ISI database with the keywords "climate change" (9). The 928 papers were divided into six categories: explicit endorsement of the consensus position, evaluation of impacts, mitigation proposals, methods, paleoclimate analysis, and rejection of the consensus position. Of all the papers, 75% fell into the first three categories, either explicitly or implicitly accepting the consensus view; 25% dealt with methods or paleoclimate, taking no position on current anthropogenic climate change. Remarkably, none of the papers disagreed with the consensus position.

.....
Politicians, economists, journalists, and others may have the impression of confusion, disagreement, or discord among climate scientists, but that impression is incorrect."
