Anthony Watts started this with a retweet to his followers (which he now seems to have removed).
Also the climate science denier reddit /r/climateskeptic called attention to this: http://www.reddit.com/r/climateskeptics/comments/2fu0mj/john_cook_is_doing_an_ama_right_now/
This probably happened on multiple locations, but I haven't checked further as I just got up. It's a known tactic used by science deniers to try to disrupt or take over high profile science communication efforts.

On the subject of the 97% consensus paper:
- What do you think is the least understood part from it?
- What do you consider the least highlighted interesting finding?

There are already responses to that available. Either written by the team that wrote the paper or shared by this team:
This is not an exhaustive list, I know that Dana and others wrote more about this.
