PT17.S2.Q25 - Global warming trend

Can someone clarify what the hell "S" is saying in the first sentence of the stimulus? I understand the rest of the reasoning, but I can't break this sentence down in a way that is meaningful. What is meant by "threatened?" If the trend may not be real, why would it be premature to halt it? I'm trying to understand the perspective from which "S" begins the argument.

Thanks in advance!

    We shouldn't try to stop global warming right now (to do so would be premature) because it might not be really happening.

    "threatened" is just saying, this is something bad that has been proposed to be happening. It's a distractor... you could cross it out and the argument would be exactly the same.
