I mean, lots of people used to believe that the earth was flat, and well, that doesn't mean the Flat Earth Society and Malcolm whatever his last name is suddenly became correct. Although they were pretty much proven wrong by the Greeks.
Actually, it completely works.
I guess opinion was the wrong way to put it, the majority of scientists agree that the facts point to humans having a significant effect on the warming of the planet. Where as the "Fringe" scientists believe that is not the case.
The point is, Vad was misrepresenting the consensus among experts.
