Climate change science isn't the result of a small cabal of academics, it's a vast interdisciplinary study involving all fields.

Bias isn't a binary proposition: it's not that since both sides have some bias, they should be equally distrusted. It's that one side has 0.02 bias and the other side has 0.6 bias, so weigh accordingly.

Study of the history and effects of climate change is indeed a vast interdisciplinary science. But the study of cause is much more narrowly focused.

Of those scientists who have backgrounds that would qualify them to contribute in this particular area, the consensus is not at all clear. But the ones who seem most concerned about rapid AGW appear to be those with skin in the game.
