CO2 constitutes 0.039% of the Earth’s atmosphere. Not 10%, not 1%, not 0.1%; just 0.039%. About 4 parts per 1,000. Climate change alarmists have never explained how a gas that constitutes such an infinitesimally small percentage of the atmosphere could have oh so powerful an effect on climate.

Yep- the ‘best’ I can find from them is that they liken it to poison- apparently that is the best they can muster for a feeble attempt at defending their scam
CO2 captures outgoing IR photons (a well studied fact). In fact, there is enough CO2 even at 0.04% to trap all outgoing IR photons within 100 meters (IIRC). Then those photons almost instantly give up that energy to the surrounding N2 and O2. Thus the atmosphere is warmer with CO2 than without.
