Where is proof of what you say?
It is easily found on the net, but if you were diligent, you would have done that search yourself before making the claim.
Here is an easy one, from a reliable source, that shows that the 97% claim is flawed in many ways.
Belief in the scientific community in human-caused climate change is clearly below 97%, a close review of the evidence shows, but the claim continues to be widely publicized and defended. Would a lower level of consensus convince anyone concerned about global warming to change their views?

and another that clearly indicates the 97% claim was BADLY flawed.
In the lead-up to the Paris climate summit, massive activist pressure is on all governments, especially Canada’s, to fall in line with the global warming agenda and accept emission targets that could seriously harm our economy.

That's just two. I've got more.
Consensus is irrelevant in science. There are plenty of examples in history where everyone agreed and everyone was wrong

Most climate scientists agree that we have some climate impact. This does not at all justify the rapid elimination of fossil fuels. Myth: 97% of climate scientists agree that we face a climate crisis that requires the rapid elimination of fossil fuels. Truth: Most climate scientists agree that...

jpl458, if you read the article that first made that 97% claim and examined the nature of the questionnaire that led to that result, we would have to say that the survey was fundamentally flawed. It asked a wide-ranging question but made a contrarily specific and narrow claim. It went from general to specific without a proper foundation. And DON'T tell me I don't understand how to set up experiments. DON'T tell me I don't understand statistics. The "Doc" in my name is NOT an accident.
The REAL reason we have climate change is Earth. As it happens, we are exiting from an Ice Age so OF COURSE the planet is going to get hotter. Has been since the big blizzards of the 1880s.
Now, let me clarify my position. I don't care that you think the climate is changing for anthropomorphic reasons. But for health reasons, I would like to clean up the air, water, and soil too. My reasons differ from yours yet we want similar results.
The worst of the greenhouse gases is one that doesn't get mentioned nearly as often as carbon dioxide. I'm talking methane, which is a natural result of digestion and decay. Swamps and rain forests are FULL of methane due to rotting vegetation and termite flatulence. Cows contribute, but so do horses, goats, pigs, sheep, dogs, cats, and people. (My wife has threatened to turn me in to the U.N. regarding volume of air pollution.)
If you want to say that the weather is getting hotter, I would agree. If you say it is primarily anthropogenic, I would have to laugh in your face. AT MOST there may be a CONTRIBUTION from human activities. But the termination of the Ice Age is the REAL cause of all of this heat. It is part of a natural Earth cycle.
