It's quite common that a scientific article will contain on the first page some type of "statement of faith" regarding climate change.
For example, I recall one that said "The findings are consistent with man-made climate change."
Now that ACTUALLY means anything and everything. The findings may be consistent with 1001 things, but here is mentioned one. Regardless, the authors have done their job, with a secret smirk, and gone ahead with their research.
This article would have been counted in the sham "consensus" but in fact has nothing at all to do with climate change cause or effect.
Science should be based on empirical evidence, facts, and numbers. To have personal agendas from corporations and private organizations skewing the data and making false claims makes it difficult for the rest of us to know what is going on.
