That's precisely the question we've been trying to answer, and the two
points of view are:

* The Democratic Party of the US, along with the Clinton EPA and the
UN's climate panel (IPCC) say that "nearly every expert" accepts the GW
theory (which William also supports).
* Others, like Bush (a politician); Lindzen and Balunias (scientists),
Singer and Seitz (retired scientists) that that "less than half of all
experts" accept the GW theory.

So there is a dispute over whether there is a consensus about a theory.
Is that clear now?
