If every human became green today, could we possibly reverse global warming?

The actual process can't be reversed. But we can stop making it worse, and after that we can try to "rebuild" that which was destroyed. But that would take many years and lots of effort.

We must be doing better than you two think. The globe has been cooling for the last three years. It was steady for seven before that.

Really? I assumed the temperature was rising.That's at least a little comforting to know.

The temperature is still rising little by little, as seen by the ice caps melting.
However, we aren't sure whether or not humans actually caused it. It may just be a natural cycle.
However, it can't help to try to use less and have less pollution.

I think they just discovered a humongous mass of ice that miraculously was never recorded before, in the Arctic. I think it is several square miles. I'm trying to find an article.

Global Warming was going to happen anyway, people just sped up the process. There is evidence proving that the Earth's overall climate does cycle.

If we all go green, however, there will be fewer poisonous things for us to worry about, and maybe a few less animals will die off.
