Talk:Global climate crisis

Is climate activism the most important thing for someone who cherishes the earth to work on?
I'm contemplating pouring a lot of energy into climate advocacy, but want to take the time to try and falsify (rather than confirm) the assumptions that underly this move. Hence this page. I appreciate any help! Brandon CS Sanders (talk) 12:31, 18 March 2015 (PDT)

97%
The 97% consensus seems like such a simple issue, but when I read both sides of it I don't feel a lot of trust for either, it seems highly political rather than scientific. The actual consensus seems like pretty weak tea ... that there is some global warming (1.4 degrees F) and that the warming has been caused by humans. President Obama tweeted "Ninety-seven percent of scientists agree: #climate change is real, man-made and dangerous." Do climate scientists (and other scientists) really agree that we understand how the climate is going to change and that the change is really dangerous? The more I look for an unequivocal scientific consensus that climate change is really scary, the more uncertain I get. - Brandon CS Sanders (talk) 15:30, 28 May 2015 (PDT)
