Anyway, you've changed tack a bit. You were always so insistent on seeing proof and not advocating "just in case" actions. Reducing energy use, and being more efficient is what would happen even without people warning of the threat of Global Warming. But I am not going to sell my car and live up a tree on something that's pure guesswork atm. They guessed that the earth was flat until Columbus sailed around it.

Any paragraph or statement that starts with:
"scientists say" or "experts say"
Should always be treated with the upmost scepticism.
I suggest you read the excellent " A Short History of Nearly Everything" by Bill Bryson
to show you just how little is known about our planet, and how the "top" scientists of the day and yesteryear couldn't and still can't agree on a many great things.
