feel free to post new articles showing the scientific community has "consensus" on man made climate change.
but you did make one good point .. it is complicated. so complicated that there is no "consensus" on it.

We are both repeating ourselves, but we're not forcing anyone to read this.
On the hockey stick thing, you may be mis-interpreting or mis-representing your own source, but people can look at the link and the whole article themselves,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hockey...ation_of_MBH98
We are using different definitions of consensus, but I'm not saying you are using the wrong one. There is one that can be used the way you are using it. You agreed to 80% agreement among scientists. Sometimes you mention that not being "mass consensus." So, using the definition you are using, it's either mass consensus or no consensus.
So, here we go, a source (not NASA) from the same year as your Forbes (Big Oil dude) source, back at 97%,

Your Fraser Institute (
https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/fraser-institute/ ) source is from 2015. He sites the IPCC, sometimes to refute them, sometimes to support his points. Anyway, here is a 2023 report from the IPCC,
https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/syr/d...R6_SYR_SPM.pdf . I haven't finished it, but here is an interesting nugget on page 10, "Human activities, principally through emissions of greenhouse gases, have unequivocally caused global warming, with global surface temperature reaching 1.1°C above 1850-1900 in 2011-2020. Global greenhouse gas emissions have continued to increase, with unequal historical and ongoing contributions arising from unsustainable energy use, land use and land-use change, lifestyles and patterns of consumption and production across regions, between and within countries, and among individuals (high confidence). {2.1, Figure 2.1, Figure 2.2}."
