CO2 exists in our atmosphere as a trace gas in part per million levels. To maintain that the entire planet’s climate is driven primarily by part per million changes of a single trace gas is borders on absurdity. Certainly the sun whose output of heat energy to the earth varies has far more effect. The tilt of earths axis relative to the sun and causes our four seasons has a measurable wobble which can certainly effect climate. The theory that the greenhouse effect of variations in CO2 levels changes climate cannot explain the three ice ages where the entire northern hemisphere was covered by mile thick glaciers nor the ending of those ice ages. The theory cannot explain the Medieval warming period nor the so called little ice age from roughly 1300-1850. This is not to say that we should not look to cleaner energy options, but the climate alarmist are pushing us to rely on wind and solar technologies that are neither reliable nor environmentally neutral.

Good going, Great RJ!
I always cheer when someone brings up the subject of the “Obliquity of the Ecliptic.” Yes, there are more factors than CO2, it is trace gas. Yes, the SUN is our heat engine as well is our Planet Earth.

Correct.

Anthropogenic CO2 increases are a few dozen ppm at best.

Dihydrogen monoxide concentrations are, on average, 30,000 ppm.

So 30 ppm affects that?

Nah....
