97% of climate scientists agree that anthropogenic carbon emissions are the cause of very significant changes in our global climate. They probably also agree that it's an economic and social problem (as do I!), but they have no privileged perspective on that aspect of things (beyond an acceptance of scientific reality, which is unfortunately rarer than one might hope).
That's not actually true. There are plenty of atheist priests as it's a job just like any other. More to the point if you survey the worlds religions you don't actually find much consensus of any kind. Just ask a shinto priest how the world was created and compare that with the native Australia dream time. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dreamtime Even more enlightening 'God' as a concept aka a supreme higher power does not even translate into every language.
Existence of god is largely a question of belief and faith, not scientifically verifiable data, and I suspect nearly all priests would agree to that as well.
Of course it doesn't, but how that consensus was reached is. New data indicating otherwise would eventually change minds in the scientific community, as it did then. But it starts with data, not belief, or political agendas.
