Look at this:

To gain this degree of certainty, the report was compiled according to a ‘consensus’-based model which posed some problems for evaluating the contribution of human-caused climate change to phenomena such as tropical cyclones, where data gaps appear before the middle of the last century.

What a compost heap this is. It says absolutely nothing.

Actually I have figured out what this means To gain this degree of certainty, the report was compiled according to a ‘consensus’-based model which posed some problems for evaluating the contribution of human-caused climate change to phenomena such as tropical cyclones, where data gaps appear before the middle of the last century.

It means, simply stated They didn't know what to think because nothing made any sense, so they voted on how to fudge the numbers to try and prove their theory.

It’s thoroughly unscientific. There is no such thing as basing anything on consensus, in real science. If the starting point is consensus, then you will get no further than the horse and cart—if you even make it as far as inventing the wheel. No major human leaps forward were ever done by committee.
