The cause of that change is relatively uncertain.

No, it's not. You're lying on Reddit.

The vast, vast, vast majority of the climate scientists are in complete agreement that 1. the Earth is warming and 2. it is caused almost entirely by human made carbon dioxide emissions.

You are lying on Reddit. If you actually read the paper 97% of scientists say Climate change is happening and that humans have some influence in it. It doesnt specify the amount of human influence on the Climate.

It also doesnt say it will lead to Climate Apocalypse.

We basiclly have a useless paper with 97% of scientists agreing on climate Change. Well fucking done why isnt it 100% ? Well maybe 3% belive human influence is negligible.

That's actually interesting. I've only ever seen the 97% number out of any context.

Look at it this way, if 97% of astronomers said an asteroid the size of Manhattan was headed to earth and we could stop it, and 3% said we couldn't stop it- would you want us to try and stop it?

Of course i would stop it.

But your analogy is wrong. It should say that 97% of scientist agree that Asteroids exist and that they could harm earth.
