Yes, the climate is changing, but by forces over which we humans have no control. CO2 is only about 0.01% of our atmosphere and the global warming alarmists would have us believe that even a molecular level increase in CO2 ...we are talking parts per MILLION..will somehow cause climate collapse is ludicrous. If our climate were so fragile that the alteration of a single atmospheric gas by even a few parts per million would produce massive climate change, all life on earth would have ended eons ago. A SINGLE large volcanic eruption can easily put more climate changing gases into the upper atmosphere than a millenia of burning fossil fuels. We have historic records of single volcanic eruptions doing just that, e.g., Krakatoa in the 19th century and Mt. Pinatubo in the 20th. In both these cases global temperatures measurably went down, yet the climate survived.

This theory of human activity raising CO2 levels by a few parts per million causing climate collapse is pure BS and is not supported by true science, observed data nor the historical record. It is a false theory propagated as a dogma by climate zealots solely for political purposes.

0.04% (would be 0.03% without mankind's contributions). The point is that those molecules matter. There are more than enough of them (10^21 CO2 molecules per cubic meter) to capture the outgoing IR with the right wavelength and heat the rest of the atmosphere (N2 and O2).

A single large volcano (Pinatubo) put 42 Mt CO2 into the atmosphere, see http://pubs.usgs.gov/pinatubo/gerlach/ Mankind puts out that much in half a day.

Well, there are some good points in what you are saying. Namely any "climate collapse" or wild weather is a negative feedback, so whatever warming is caused by CO2 is reduced by the amount of increase in the water cycle and some other weather effects.
