You're right, 'majority rules' is not a scientific technique; however, when 97% of the experts in the field draw the same conclusion it behooves one to take seriously what is being proposed. Ignoring the science behind the excuse of 'majority rules' is equally dangerous as claiming something true because of 'majority rules'. Nobody took a vote. If someone disagrees with the science they are free to present the evidence supporting an alternative hypothesis which can then be tested. This isn't happening concerning climate change.
