I could offer literally 1,000 sources and it wouldn't satisfy any denialist.

You must be talking about Fred S Singer. I've actually communicated with Dr Singer by email. He is probably the most honest man I have ever met, but as for being the only climatologist who is a skeptic, you are wrong. Here are a few others who are also skeptics:

Unfortunately, I had to shorten this list significantly, there is a 10,000 character limit for posts here.
So much for a "consensus among the world's leading scientists".
