Sure there has, you are just unwilling to accept it.

You will continue claiming that this is the scientific "consensus" no matter who shows you different.

Oh, I'm well aware of that. We're way "out of balance" here on Earth.

Should we start panicking and scuffling around trying to "save ourselves" when we haven't the foggiest idea what, when or how something "might happen" ?

First of all, the science does not indicate that at all. Some scientists say that some scientists don't say that.

Which scientists do you wish to worship ?

Second, I don't think there is anything that we can do that will have any effect at all.

Sure, we could all start living like the Amish people and stop driving cars and burning fossil fuel etc etc. It's silly to think that doing something like this would change anything about the Earths climate.

Though it would probably cause a big die off.
