You appear to be confused about the meaning of some terms. Please follow the link on "positive statement".
1. Scientific consensus, is, by definition, is what we know about the world. We could be mistaken, and sometimes we are, but these issues should be addressed by the research community, not by marchers, bloggers, or politicians.
2. We trust scientific community (not every specific individual) to strive for the scientific consensus to be based on solid science.
3. "positive statements" is what scientific consensus consists of. E.g., "sun is a star" or "heat is transmitted by phlogiston".
my point on that: - scientific consensus from "1" is totally irrelevant to positive statements AND for normative ones.
you don't understand what "positive statement" means and you agree with me on normative.
