    I read that there was over ten thousand publications related to climate change last year. If the 90-97% figure (that skeptics love to erroneously deny) stayed true then you'd expect a few hundred dissenting publications and that's just for last year alone. NoTricksZone seems to do a pretty good job of cherry-picking the most obvious dissenting publications. If you search for "anthropogenic climate change" on Google Scholar you'll get 750,000 hits. If 5% of those are dissenting then that would be over 35,000 dissenting publications.

    Also, "consensus" is not a popularity contest or a vote or anything like that. Consensus is the collection of hypothesis that have survived falsification and which provide the best match to reality. It doesn't matter what the proportion of supporting and dissenting publications there actually are.
