FWIW, there is a sizable group of people who believe in anthropological global warming but think that there are more productive measures than curtailing emissions. For instance, if you take estimates of the number of people who would suffer greatly -- say deaths -- from global warming and calculate how much it would cost to prevent those deaths from other means -- at least according to their calculations -- you can do so at a fraction of the cost.
