So if scientists discovered that global warming was real for sure...?

Question

like they're 99% sure based on the evidence they have. and they discovered that humans were the source of it, would you take action to stop it?

Answer 1

Sure.  And scientists already have proven it for sure.

This is science and what counts is the data.

"I wasn’t convinced by a person or any interest group—it was the data that got me. I was utterly convinced of this connection between the burning of fossil fuels and climate change. And I was convinced that if we didn’t do something about this, we would be in deep trouble.”

Vice Admiral Richard H. Truly, USN (Ret.)

Former NASA Administrator, Shuttle Astronaut

Here are two summaries of the mountain of peer reviewed data that convinced Admiral Truly and the vast majority of the scientific community, short and long.

There's a lot less controversy about this is the real world than there is on Yahoo answers:

And vastly less controversy in the scientific community than you might guess from the few skeptics talked about here:

"There's a better scientific consensus on this [climate change] than on any issue I know...  Global warming is almost a no-brainer at this point.  You really can't find intelligent, quantitative arguments to make it go away."

Dr. Jerry Mahlman, NOAA

Answer 2

I do. I try to save and not waste wherever possible.

We should ask our congress and senate these same questions?

Answer 3

if they havent found hard evidence yet, like a proportional ratio between temperature and co2, or why co2 would cause one large area in the globe to warm intensly while cooling others, then why even believe its real?

There will NEVER be a discovery that proves global warming is caused by us.  And I will never take action to stop it.  

I do however take action to make my local area a cleaner area, that is safer and healthier for wild life.   If anything adding co2 to the air will help my plants!

Answer 4

i already do... im never touching a car... better safe than dead

Answer 5

Try THIS, if you can handle the "truth".

Answer 6

Global warming is an opinion, many people think its happening, some don't. But since i am a teenager living in my families house, i can't really do anything besides educate them on the situation. But i do what ever i can, so should the rest of the world.

Answer 7

Lots of people do not want the trouble of taking action which is why they invent reasons not to believe the science, which is solid.
