" when a scientific paper purports to invalidate the consensus view on climate, it's found to be because of errors. "

Well I guess it depends on what you mean by "consensus view".

But if you think that the papers I linked aren't opposing the consensus view then we probably have a different view on what the consensus view is.

Perhaps you could give an example of a now debunked paper that sought to debunk the consensus view.

Looks as though some people are more concerned about the wording of some dimwit academic article than climate change.
Are the "educated" getting overwhelmed by the realisation that we can't stop climate change so they now try yet another diversion just to keep Govt funding flowing into their pockets.
We've had examples in the recent past where dimwit politicians gave away many of our tax dollars but i don't think they expected any more than votes in return.
Climate change happens anyway.

So individual you don't comprehend that meltwater under heated glaciers raises the effect and costs of coastal flooding? Antarctica's melt rate is rising rapidly.

"And there it is, just as predicted long ago!
rache,
So, what do we do about it ? ...
I'm asking you right here & now ! What is your solution to climate change ?"
My response:
While school children are busily 'striking' (or 'avoiding learning') - in the cause of Kyoto and combating climate change (and Labor is myopically focused on technology-based 'alternative' counter-measures), 'Scomo' has missed a brilliant opportunity to put forward the most effective and productive alternative Australia could possible offer: that of massively expanding our agricultural production - by embracing Barnaby Joyce's idea of channeling vast quantities of Oz's excess northern fresh water (rainfall) towards the south, for a grand irrigation development of a portion of the extensive semi-arid landscape with which Oz is blessed, and lies begging for attention and occupation.
Such a scheme could be undertaken in easy stages, to tap an unparalleled opportunity for Oz to embrace the world's best and most productive counter-measure to greenhouse gas emissions - the exploitation of the massive natural potentials of large-scale food production.
Visualize expanses of solar-supported greenhouses, and a small-scale coal-fired power station whose emissions are scrubbed and the CO2 content pumped directly to enhance plant growth and the production of oil-producing algae for on-site biodiesel fuel production, leading ultimately to broad-acre cereal and pasture production and the establishment of a series of self-sustaining satellite cities.
The stumbling block is the provision of the masses of biomass fertilizer required to support these horticultural and agricultural facilities. This would ultimately most likely (and productively) have to be sourced from the effluents of our existing cities.
Possible? Inevitable?
Who's got the ticker, and the vision?
Colonies on Mars? Or, tackling escalating food demand (and future shortage) head-on - sustainably, environmentally-friendly and climate positive?
Our bed, and we will have to lie in it. Our choice - while it exists.

Oh, for the deniers and heads-in-the-sanders:
Look around you, buddies; Rome is burning and you're busy nit-picking.
Glaciers don't melt or recede because of some heat-source below the Arctic ice-cap (or because of an occasional solar flare), and the Great Barrier Reef isn't in trouble because two cows burped.
Over-population is a reality, food shortage exists in portions of the planet, weather extremes are becoming more frequent and extensive, refugee mass-migration isn't occurring because some people felt like a walk, and plastic is a problem.
What's plastic pollution got to do with climate change? Nothing, but it also is real.
Migration? Would you care to live where they come from?
Can we do better - for all of humanity, for the environment, for biodiversity, for the planetary ecosystem? We had better - or line-up for the next NASA shuttle to ..?
Capitalism is undeniably productive; but if it can be geared fully toward cooperation rather than competition, then it could be sensational, mind-blowing, and the ultimate expression of forward human evolution towards genuine humanity.
I love our planet, but I deplore the way so many mistreat it (and then deny any wrongdoing or any responsibility). Denial is complicity.

you naughty man , Denial is complicity. You deny that radioactivity melts icewater under Antarctica.
