At the non-scientific Heartland Institute conference, apparently Marc Morano (the author of the infamous and fully debunked "prominent scientists" list and Sen. Inhofe’s press secretary), took an article by a respected scientist and misrepresented it by saying: “We’re making them afraid of using the term ‘consensus’!“
The actual article being referenced is here:

The articles actual view of the word 'consensus' is that it's far too weak to describe the collective scientific understanding of the dangers of human-caused global warming. So, is there a better word that should be used to describe the well established level of knowledge in this field and the grave & growing concern among real climate scientists?
