I'm not sure I understand what you mean about contradictions in the evidence. There is some variation in the interpretation of how bad global warming is, and how quickly climate change will happen in the future.

And then theres the fact that not a single climate model can arrive at an accurate outcome when fed historical data.... Of course thats something we should just ignore right?

What i mean by that is, if you feed ANY of the models the known data over the past 100 years and ask it to "predict" current conditions, they're off by several orders of magnitude.

But anytime you can get hundreds of scientists to agree, with a 90% degree of certainty, on anything, to me that shows that any contradictions are very minor.

At one point in our history, over 90% of the scientists and learned men agreed the Sun orbited the earth.

At one point in our history, over 90% of the scientists and learned men agreed the earth was flat.

At one point in our history, over 90% of the scientists believed man could not fly.

At one point in our history, over 90% of the scientists believed the speed of sound was an absolute speed limit.

Shall i go on?
