It is what to do about it that is the problem. Standing stalwart together and singing songs and changing out your grass isn't getting anything done.
I say. Let's us Americans build turbines and figure out a way that solar energy is truly cost effective and try not to fart as much.

That may be true, but there is not enough specific information here to make an informed judgment on what, if anything, should be or can be done about it.
Is this going to be a mild, temporary warming or is it going to be catastrophic? Is it something that we can actually do something about? I've read some things that say even if we follow the Paris agreement to the letter, it will do very little to change the future.
If we can delay or stop the warming, what will it cost? What would we be willing to give up?
Just to say that most intelligent people agree on something or that 97% of all scientist agree isn't saying very much.
On the other hand, there are 31,000 scientists that say that it's not happening.

On top of this is the fact that some of the people that have been pushing this global warming idea for the past couple of decades have become very wealthy doing it. Also, many of the things that were predicted to have happened by now have not happened.
How are we, as lay people, supposed to know what to believe?
