Has there ever been a "controversy" similar to global warming, in which the scientific community was in consensus, but many people considered it a lie? What was the outcome?

Yes, several. Among the most important are

Lead from gasoline, paint, shot, and other sources poisoning people and animals
CFCs depleting ozone
Acid rain killing trees, lake life, and other vegetation
DDT killing birds and other animals
Asbestos causing cancer
Coal dust causing Black Lung Disease
Tobacco causing cancer and other diseases
