Climate change nonsensus: Only ~47% of Australian geoscientists endorse strong action to reduce fossil fuel emissions
An independent poll of members of the Geological Society of Australia (conducted in 2010) showed that a majority (53% of 626 members who responded) did not agree with the Society’s position statement. The Executive then agreed to withdraw that statement from the Society’s website, but by then it had been picked up by other websites and continues to be freely available...
Subsequently, the GSA "declared itself unable to publish a position statement on climate change due to the deep divisions within its membership on the issue. After more than five years of debate and two false starts, Geological Society of Australia president Laurie Hutton said a statement on climate change was too difficult to achieve.

from page 12, 53% of the members of the Geological Society of Australia
DISAGREED with the statement endorsing strong action to reduce fossil fuel emissions. OBVIOUSLY there’s no 97% consensus.
