That's actually not what is being discussed. The issue is the human impact on the environment that is feeding climate change. Completely different discussions, and yes, there are people who question the validity of either question.

The argument, from what I can tell, is over the impact of a .01% increase in atmospheric CO2. There is skepticism and disagreement that this additional .01% of atmospheric CO2 is having undesirable effects on our environment, if any at all.

This is false. In the actual community that study the subject matter, real scientists who are subject matter experts in their fields, have found consensus in the unified theory of what is causing rapid climate change around the globe. The level of skepticism is low and the ability to present another unified theory is non-existent.
Where there is disagreement you will find a great deal of disinformation and a concerted effort by interests who would lose vast amounts of wealth and power should a shift in our reliance on their products were to take place. This is no different than what big tobacco did to hide the lethality of their products. What is really ironic is the same researchers and companies used to sway the public on cigarettes are the same ones that are framing and swaying the public on climate science.
