How will global warming become out of control?
Many scientists to say that if emissions aren’t reduced by X amount in Y years, global warming will become out of our control.

I’m doing homework and a paper about "The Carbon Cycle" asks:
Millions of years ago, organisms that didn’t totally decompose were changed into coal, oil, and natural gas. These are now our supply of fossil fuels. This stored carbon is realeased into the air as carbon dioxide when the fuels are burned. Explain why some scientists believe this is causing our climate to change?
Thanks

It seems that thoughtful questions about the environment are asked and then many or most answers say that there are no problems and scientists are full of it. And factual answers with information on helping our environment are given negative ratings.

It really shows how many ignorant people there really are.
Why should I give any credit to the scientific community when they have been wrong on climate predictions?
In the 1970s, the big deal was global cooling.
In the 1980s, it was acid rain.
In the 1990s, it was global warming.
Now it is climate change.
Not only that, but we cannot predict weather for more than 7 days out.
Why should I give any credence to the scientists who say in 30 years the world will fall apart?
