I'm discussing the attitude described by the Sagan quote. It applies to people on both sides, but when it comes to "extraordinary standards" required, it is extremely lopsided.

Who said 100% must equal consensus?

Anyone who says that there isn't consensus now. If it isn't enough that almost all climatologists agree, I can only conclude that 100% is required.

Occasional study that can be (sometimes mis)interpreted ...

What's wrong with that? Most studies support it, so the others are, comparatively, occasional. And sometimes (a word you missed) some aspect of a study that supports it is siezed on to imply that the study opposes it.

There are different "ruling opinions" in different communities. I was saying that the "extraordinary standards" required by the deniers are ridiculously high.
