We can't wait for 100% certain conclusions because it won't happen. Scientists never say that something is 100% sure... Hell they still have debates on gravity! So the only day that we'll know for sure is if we don't do anything and the world gets in disasters.

I wouldn't want to wait till then.

So you think we should create a worldwide economic depression then? Acting on something that is a theory at best. Thats the point. People say yea lets take preventative steps just in case but changing your light bulbs isnt enough. No action that could have an effect on "manmade" global warming would work unless its drastic. As i said before humans account for .001 ( i mistakenly said .01 before ) of the co2 emissions. Developing countries would have to stop developing, industrial countries would need to cut back, but think of it like this every cut back is another job loss, another lost profit, one less donation of food to those who need it, cuts in medical insurance. I know these examples are broad but think about it. Pair this with increased government spending which means higher taxes and less money allocated to other KNOWN problems, diseases, etc. A drastic change in lifestyle would be in store for everyone, all based on speculation. The truth is no one knows what the future holds...
