Pretty sure this has been debunked more than a decade ago.

"Pretty sure"? Do you have any support for that claim, or is it hearsay from a climate denier? There are are overwhelming studies that count the consensus and find ~99% and higher.

Key Studies Supporting the Consensus
Cook et al. (2013):
Published in Environmental
Research Letters, this study analyzed nearly 12,000 peer-reviewed scientific papers on climate change from 1991 to 2011.
Of the papers that stated a position on the cause of climate change, 97.1% agreed that humans are the primary cause.
This study has been widely cited and remains a cornerstone in climate consensus
research.
Oreskes (2004):
Published in Science, this study reviewed nearly 1,000 abstracts from peer-reviewed climate papers published between 1993 and 2003.
It found no papers rejecting the consensus on human-caused climate change.
Anderegg et al. (2010):
Published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), this study evaluated the credentials and expertise of climate scientists.
It found that 97-98% of climate experts most actively publishing in the field support the consensus on human-caused climate change.
Powell (2019):
This study reviewed nearly 12,000 peer-reviewed papers published from 2013 to 2014.
The consensus was found to be 99.94%, with only a negligible fraction dissenting.
Lynas et al. (2021):
Published in Environmental Research Letters, this study reviewed over 88,000 climate-related papers.
It found that over 99% of papers affirm the scientific consensus that climate change is real and primarily caused by humans.
