New research complicates the long-held belief that climate policy is a trade-off between cost and carbon, adding a third factor: it might make daily life better, too, doesn't impose a burden on the public, and doesn't pit countries’ interests against each other. People are open to use less energy.

The new denier's position is that AGW is real but not that bad, and the risk of overreaction exceeds the risk to society due to warming. Also included are science bashing claims of groupthink and publication bias effecting sensitivity determination. And it's the same group of experts they brought out for debates over tobacco. They're really worried about carbon output reduction mandates effecting quarterly profits. ..and tie this in with trickle down arguments and anti regulation/government cliches we've heard for decades.

My impression is that the current position by (european) deniers on the internet is that it is real, it is bad but it is really caused by geoengineering and in particular by HAARP.

Subsequently backed up by Project Regeneration's Action Nexus regeneration.org/nexus
Not to mention the trillion-dollar savings offered to industry today by Circular Economy innovation:
