Obviously the effects of human carbon pollution of our atmosphere is a very contentious topic. There are plenty of reasons to make a concerted effort to reduce carbon contribution in our atmosphere, not just warming - real or otherwise. The normal CO2 level in the 200-300 ppm level is compatible with human life. CO2 is a reasonably poisonous gas for mammalian exposure. The concentration can be much higher in inversion areas, particularly in China. The average person doesn't realize that burning 1 tank (20 gallons) of gas puts 360 pounds of CO2 in the air. That's a lot of gas! Improved fuel economy has probably halved the annual amount/vehicle added to the atmosphere in the last 20 years to the economic advantage of the drivers at the same time. It is an example of win-win. To be successful in further reduction of carbon in the atmosphere, there will have to be a succession of win-wins.
It is up to the highly developed nations to find a solution to reduce the carbon pollution of the atmosphere so that the developing nations can take advantage of the improved technology without going through a phase of high pollution.
