Perhaps, but you omit the quote immediately following -- which is worthy of debate / consideration:
“Funders looking to influence organizations
who promote a consensus view are very different
from funders looking to influence organizations
who have the goal of creating polarization and
controversy and delaying policy progress on a
scientific issue that has nearly uniform consensus,”We agree it's worthy of debate, not merely a hand-waving assertion.
In the 18th century, the French Academy of Science published their consensus that there were no rocks that fell from the sky because there are manifestly no rocks in the sky. So European museums threw out their collections of meteorites.

It would have been (more) scientific to compare the two factions. There's plenty of money to be made on both sides of the issue--ask any lawyer.
