The trouble with the IPCC's uncountable consensus is that (a) it
includes Al Gore's particular brand of excession and (b) there is a
countable but growing consensus *against* their consensus too. At which
point, the cynic like me starts looking at who funds the relevant people,
on either side, and wondering about agendas.
