I assume you are already aware of the answer and are intentionally obfuscating the point to hide your agenda, but the “Global Warming” hysteria (now called “Global Climate Change” to fit a new set of data) is being pushed by a wide variety of leftist groups who all share one common trait which is an opposition to capitalism and free markets (what the left calls “Globalization”).
Having failed to destroy capitalism through armed revolution they have turned their sights to imposing extremely burdensome restrictions on commerce and trade through the use of carbon caps and taxes. The only outcome of this nonsense will be to lower the global standard of living while at the same time increasing the power of government bureaucrats.
But of course you probably already know that.
