Look, global warming IS happening and could be classed as a threat. But, in reality, humans aren't the main cause. This cycle of the earth's temperature changing has been going on pretty much since the world began and it is totally fine. There is hard evidence that a much more devastating change in the climate occurred in the middle ages, how could humans have caused that?
However, if we want to really talk about climate change without human impact, we can go back 700million years ago. This was when the earth was changed into a big snowball. You may argue that the temperature went down, so this doesn't mean anything, but it proves the fact that the natural cycle exists and us humans are just a part of it, not the cause. If the whole world suddenly went electric and emitted no carbon into the atmosphere etc, the cycle, in my opinion, would carry on. Technically, we are coming out of an ice age, so temperatures are bound to rise.
Just imagine if every environmentalists' dreams came true and there was a massive cut in the fossil fuels used, carbon emitted (even though humans only contribute to 0.00022percent of the carbon in the atmosphere) and all the rest of it. Imagine what it would take to have this happen and, possibly, how it could affect the environment for the worse because of the massive de-industrialisation of the world. The resources to make all things environment friendly with NOT environment friendly resources could produce way more negative stuff than anticipated and just make it worse.
I propose that we just carry on as we are but don't get reckless. Do re-use plastic bags but not for the greater good, that's beyond us humans, but from a subjective view of the children living near landfills etc.
Finally, scientists DO NOT HAVE A CLUE what they're doing. It is nearly impossible to measure this and, as an example, in the 1970's scientists thought the earth was cooling so I really don't think we should be listening to what they say as they're probably only saying it so they don't sound stupid.
