Those who are concerned about global warming are those who
1) understand the potential damage to both ecosystems and human civilization,
2) believe that the cause and effect (AGCC) exists, and
3) believe that humans can reverse the processes held responsible for the climate change.
If someone has doubts in any of these three areas, then their concern will be far less.
Because the change will take place over a period longer than most individual lifetimes, one must also have a concern for their children's children, or an altruistic concern for mankind as a whole. They must feel that any sacrifices they make right now, or that society makes, are warranted.
An example of a situation where one of the three beliefs, that of effectiveness of change, is not present. -- Several areas of Asia are likely to experience cataclysmic volcanic eruptions within the next century. The probability is up to 95%, nothing can be done to prevent it from occurring, and people will still build towns and cities where earlier ones were destroyed. So if preventive changes in human activity are endorsed or mandated, there must be a clear case that they will be effective rather than futile.
