But just because full consensus on the science in any field is elusive if not impossible, does that mean you cannot or should not act on the best state of knowledge available to you at the time?
And given the projected lead times necessary to make any notable impact on climate change, doesn't continued delay simply make it more impossible to influence the outcome?

Did I not say we can individually do our part to low our personal pollution and consumption to lessen our negative effect on the earth. Having read considerable but not all articles, the evidence to me points towards a climatic upswing in temperature but then I read another dozen articles by reputable scientists and believe the opposite, so coming to my own conclusions as I must, I don't believe we are causing global warming, but I believe we are contributing to killing the oceans and ourselves with pollution.
