Your or doesn't separate two sides of the same thing so the question doesn't make sense. Being able to predict outcomes isn't the other side of an OR of either accepting that it's coming or that it's caused by humans, and no one says it'll kill us all.
Being a denier means denying that AGW is a reality, the other side of the OR is accepting that AGW is a reality. Disagreeing on details of effects or if it's 78% or 75% due to human activities isn't denying the reality, it's working out the details of the reality.
