In summary: Well, then we've made ourselves hotter, and done nothing about the real problem. So it's not a good idea to just act without knowing what the true cause is.In summary, there is a growing consensus on the reality of global warming and its human causes. However, there is still uncertainty about the extent of its effects and how to address them. The role of politics in finding a solution is also a factor to consider. Without a clear understanding of the cause, any attempted fix may have unintended consequences.
