An uploaded image to Wikipedia is a very weak source to assert an opinion not held by the scientific community (that there is no scientific consensus).

Also, I've been discussing the arguments all along, not sure what the reference to 'ad hominem' is about.

Here's the actual Wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_opinion_on_climate_c...

It mentions: "No scientific body of national or international standing has maintained a dissenting opinion; the last was the American Association of Petroleum Geologists, which in 2007 updated its 1999 statement rejecting the likelihood of human influence on recent climate with its current non-committal position."

Maybe the American Association of Petroleum Geologists made that image you reference before changing their position. I don't know, it's completely out of context.
