You asked how there could be "consensus" on the existence of ACC when some scientists dispute its existence.

The parent post gave an example of a case where some credentialed scientists continued to dispute the HIV-AIDS link well after the balance of evidence was against them.

Many people would say there was a "consensus" on the HIV-AIDS link despite the continued skepticism of some scientists, and that this scenario has parallels with climate science.

Can you offer a counter example, where a holdout group of scientists who disagreed with consensus in their field were proved right?
