If 90 percent of the oncological community said something was causing cancer we’d listen to them.”

That’s an interesting quote, and as usual its misleading. If I recall there was a questionnaire given to scientists regarding anthropogenic climate change in 2007. I think it was closer to 100% of scientists say that climate change is occurring, only about 80% agreed that it was caused by human activity. It was almost 100% of climate scientists only, who agreed that human activity was the cause.

You might think I’m splitting hairs, but 1 in 5 scientists disagreeing is not splitting hairs, its significant.
