You have conflated a few issues:

1) AGW does not in itself say anything about warming till humans have major problems.

2) It does not saying anything about massive costs to fix anything.

What it does say is that the globe is warming primarily due to human causes.

I think the evidence is very solid that the global is warming due to human causes. That is what all the science is about.

I think the evidence is reasonable that we will see sufficient warming to cause significant human problems. Again, this is based on the science, but is less clear since it departs from the known and calibrated range of the models.

I think the evidence that massive restructuring of the world economy is needed to address the issue is very poor.
