Please note that the Wikipedia sentence you posted has no citation that substantiate "lobbyists who dispute the scientific consensus on climate change and global warming" part. It's basically anonymous Wiki editor's opinion. I personally have no idea what CO2 Coalition is.

Regardless, Is this a good reason to preclude public from hearing Nobel Laureate (or anybody's for that matter) opinion?

Wikipedia has a page about the CO2 Coalition as well.

You can find the donations to this organization by this link, there are many donations from leaders that deny climate change.

An easy example of actively disputing the scientific consensus on climate change is claiming that the IPCC reports are not to be trusted. In one of their latest publications, they proclaim: More CO2 is better.
