<em>Yes</em>, when a problem is severe or harmful, scientists are ethically and legally obliged to speak out.

Scientific experiments and testing are vital processes that lead to innovations, medicines, procedures, etc., that better human life. While scientific testing is required before a medicine, product or procedure can implemented or introduced in the market, it is essential to stop or prevent further testing when a severe problem or harm arises at the experimental stage.

For instance, if a clinical experiment testing the effects of a new hair loss prevention drug finds that consumption of said drug causes severe nausea and dehydration, scientists must speak out or stop the experiment  to prevent further harm. A failure to prevent harm is both highly unethical and liable to legal consequences.

Explanation:

In the given question, the graph has been shown representing the change in temperature on Earth between 1900 to 1990. The graph has been made by plotting temperature ( °F) on y-axis vs Year on the x-axis.

From the graph, it can be observed that the temperature on Earth has increased over the years but between 1970 to 1990 the temperature has increased from 56.9 °F to 58.1 °F approximately.

The reason for this increase in temperature could be accounted to the fact that the burning of fossil fuels like petrol, gas, coal and others increased over these years which increased the amount of carbon dioxide and other harmful gases in the atmosphere.

Due to the increase in these gas, the greenhouse effect was observed and the temperature of the Earth begins to rise at an alarming rate.
