Yes, there is scientific consensus, that earth is warming and that we are the cause. The important thing though is to understand how this scientific consensus did come about It's not that they just voted for it, it's the data that confirm it.
In the last millions of years earth never warmed 1 full degree in a few decades. (Yes, we know that). It normally takes thousands of years, so there must be something extraordinary going on. Is the sun going nuts? Nope. Any unprecedented volcanic activity? Nope. The only extraordinary thing going on currently are we and our greenhouse gases. This alone - if there would not be much more evidence - makes it astronomically unlikely, that we are not the cause.
Also we know the mechanism behind it and scientist have predicted the current situation decades ago. No, they did not predict an upcoming "ice age" in the 70s.
GW is at least 90% due to human activity. That does not mean, that it is not really close to 100%. We do not know and it is relatively irrelevant.
Estimates are that 1 quarter each of GW is due to
1. Energy production
2. Industry
3.Transportation
4.Agriculture
So shifting to renewable energy is important, but far from enough.
Solar energy is great. It has become so cheap now, that even our villagers can afford it. And once established it is free. No need to buy oil anymore, no burnt down houses. Many upriver villages already run entirely by government sponsored solar roofs.
For countries like England or Norway. GW is most likely beneficial in the short run with increasing agricultural productivity and nicer summers. Southern countries are far worse off.
Countries that are already hot and dry are basically screwed: the Middle east, the Horn of Africa. In all these regions there is already war and in some of them famine. so the socalled "civil wars" may really be wars for resources like water. If this is the case, the wars will not end and will intensify. These areas are in the course of becoming uninhabitable.
Rice producing countries like India or Malaysia may be the next. In the flowering period of rice plants there is a phase where the plant becomes sterile when temperature goes up to more than 35 degrees for only one hour. So a temperature increase of only 1 more degree may already be fatal for us. Since I love my country climate change deniers are the only people I really hate.
Nobody knows how fast temperature will increase in this century, there are just to many uncertain factors. It os like playing roulette with the life of billions of people.
The factor climatologists are worried about the most are the methane clathrates stored in the Siberian permafrost and the seafloor under the Arctic iceshield (both obviously melting). When they are set free (methane is a very potent greenhouse gas) there is not much we can do to prevent a global catastrophe. Something like this probably happened - yes, naturally - at the end of the Permian period and turned the world into a desert.
Is it certain, that this will happen? Maybe not. Is i possible? Sure. Is it likely? How do I know, I only know that the climatologists who think so increase in numbers and they have scaringly good arguments. As I said, we are playing roulette.
