I didn't say there was a unanimous agreement. I just said that no reputable
scientific organisation nor national science academy has released statements contradicting the IPCC. Therefore your claim that most scientists disagree with the IPCC is complete bollocks. But we already knew that because there are no peer reviewed scientific papers that contradict the IPCC's view that the current warming is mostly anthropogenic.

Rubbish. Partaking in the IPCC involves a whole lot of reading and reviewing other peoples work. The beauty pageant is to do your own work, and have it recognised. Which is why the Nobel prize is so well deserved. The scientists involved took time from their lives and careers in a thankless task because they felt it was important.

And yet 100% of the published research that I am aware of supports the IPCC findings. I am confident that means that over 95% of the published research supports them. Which is why I can say with confidence that for any peer reviewed scientific paper in the last 15 years that claims the recent warming is mostly natural I will be able to find 20 that claim that it is mostly anthropogenic.
No matter how you cherry pick statements from one scientist present at some of the IPCC meetings, the research tells the story strongly and clearly: Global warming is anthropogenic.
