Here are links to a bunch of well-cited articles on LiveScience.com that really show how complete the consensus on global warming really is.
113 Nations agree that global warming is "very likely" caused by humans
Top CEOs feel that the Bush administration needs to do more about global climate change.
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), says there is a 90 percent likelihood that humans are contributing to climate change.
I will do some rereading of Hell and High Water and find other studies and quotes of global warming consensus among both the scientific and political communities. This book also tells how most of our climate modeling has been wrong in the past; wrong because it was too conservative and did not accurately reflect the many positive feedback mechanisms involved in climatology.
There is definitely controversy as to how fast our climate is going to change and how the changes will play out, ie. more droughts or more storms in certain areas of the globe, but there really is no controversy left as to the reality of global warming.
