Finding scientists who disagree with one or more climate change narratives is easy; it's actually the media who decided one day that they must stop talking to such people because there is "consensus", which is obviously doublethink. If there's consensus then you don't need to make an explicit decision to silence one side, because there is only one side to begin with.

You yourself admit that this is true when your post goes from talking about a "consensus on only one side" to there being a "minority opinion" i.e. no consensus. But if you simply decide to report the majority opinion on any topic then you're once again engaged in circular reasoning, as the majority opinion will be affected by whatever you report.

There isn't any way to do honest journalism on complex topics other than to actually report all sides of the issue, including disagreement by minorities, including if you believe those minorities are wrong. The media used to do "both sides" because that's what it takes to be trusted, when they stopped doing that trust in them started to decline.

Ironically, this totally one sided kind of reporting leading to mistrust is what Bezos is now trying to fix. Far too late, but he is at least trying.
