    Most scientists actually agree that the combustion of fossil fuels by humans enhances the greenhouse effect and in fact contributes greatly to global warming. About seven thousand million tons of CO2 enter the atmosphere every year due to humans transportation, homes, and other activities. The increased temperature causes more water vapour to fill the air, which itself is a very important and potent greenhouse gas, which causes more warming. The ozone, some of which enters and spreads around the stratosphere, is found rather quickly by these gases.

    but i was asked how can i explain why scientist do not agree that reducing fossil fuels will prevent a reduction in global warming even though its quite obvious it will.

    Any scientist who doesn't agree is ignorant of the facts.

    well i agree all scientists are bias towards the facts that they publish but in this case the arguments against are too narrow and strict how is it possible to be a question.
