Climate change is not a democracy nor is it is a voting system - right or left. If one scientist finds something that is true, and it is not refuted by any of his/her peers (or even discussed), it does not matter how many parties disagree, that scientist is still right.

Galileo was in a 3% minority when he suggested the earth went around the sun, he was placed under house arrest for refusing to toe the line . Back then, if you had just sided with the majority and ignored what many scientists were saying, you'd have been on the wrong side of history.

It was the Church against Galileo, not scientists.
