"Believe" should never feature in a sentence about science.

Just a simple "experts think ..." would be a big improvement.

It would, but I think "consider" or "conclude" would be still better.

And yet many climate models “believe” low climate sensitivity despite scientific proof of very high climate sensitivity. Many climate scientists “believe” slow decadal warming of 0.2C per decade despite scientific evidence of 0.4C decadal warming.
