CO2 is 0.04% of the atmosphere, which is 1 part in 2,500. CO2 is a TRACE GAS.
BUT only 3% (1 part in 33) of the CO2 in the atmosphere is due to burning fossil fuels. 97% comes from nature, from rotting vegetation, wildfires and volcanoes.
So man made CO2 is is 1 part in 33 X 2,500=82,500
And 1 part in 82,500 is insignificant.

CO2 is not warming the planet. The sun warms the planet. Every night the warmth radiates back into space. CO2 does nothing to stop cooling. If the sun went out then the planet would be a ball of ice in days or weeks. What’s Co2 got to do with the thermodynamics of earth? NOTHING!
Clouds stop cooling, not trace amounts of CO2. A cloudy night keeps the earth surface warm. Water vapor is 96%-99% of the thermal retainer.
If you camp in the desert under clear skies after a day 100 F heat you can freeze to death when the sun goes down and the reason is that the heat just radiates out to space.
CO2 warming is the greatest of science delusions. Humans have so far burn 1.1 trillion barrels of oil. You’d think the earth be a hothouse with all that heat released. Nope, just as cold as it always was and the reason is not talked about, all the heat that we generate just disappears forever into space. What role does CO2 play in stopping the cooling of earth? It slows down cooling and it slows down warming, the net effect is zero.
So you might ask what is controlling earth temperature? The sun, there is a daily balance of heat gained in the day vs. heat loss at night. The temperature of any hard surface planet can be calculated within 0.1 degree Celcius by the Zeller-Nickolov formula, here is the chart:
The temperature of a planet is the steady state thermodynamics of the sun’s energy reaching the planet and it is determined by two factors, distance from the sun and atmospheric pressure, the composition of the atmosphere is irrelevant.
If a big volcano goes off or asteroid impact that blocks the sun then life on earth dies. When Krakatoa blew humans died by the millions from starvation and cold.
This also happened 65 million years ago, the K-T boundary marks a thriving dinosaur population that disappeared overnight. Take a look at the vertical line on this chart:
In addition to the dominant solar energy fluctuations Yukon Jack mentioned determining climate, there are secondary axial tilting or orbital changes, and lastly there is a theoretical model of how climate can self regulate through terrestrial biology.
The major heat sink on earth is transparent water around the equator. If water and land were equal heat sinks then ocean would still have a relatively more significant influence than land on climate by its greater surface area. Ocean is not shaded unless by clouds, and it is fluid or moving. Ocean readily takes on solar energy whereas earth is often covered in forests or grass that shade it. The equatorial currents such as El Nino are the major mechanism whereby sun’s energy is distributed beyond the latitudes where it first strikes at fairly perpendicular angles.
Earth spins on its axis causing the equatorial currents to move east to west, and then coriolis force spins the movement into a gyre in the northern and southern hemispheres, turning clockwise and anti-clockwise. This sets up the great conveyor belt. So called reputable scientists who push CO2 fraud also claim the great conveyor is run off sinking water from near Greenland. But, even if waters off Greenland heated up too much to sink, defying logic for that latitude, there would still be a master plan for climate based on solar output, axial movement, coriolis force, oceanic gyres and intermittent shading factors like volcanoes or asteroid strikes because these factors far outweigh anything else, and especially outweigh the lagging indicator of change, CO2.
The bio model for self regulating climate was proposed as Daisyworld for an earth with increasing solar energy. First at low temps the black daisies colonized the equator by absorbing heat. They had to move higher in latitude as temps increased. Finally white daisies sprouted that reflected heat enough to colonize the tropics and temperate zones, and black daisies had to move to the polar regions. The intriguing part is that the white daisies moderated climate by reflecting heat and the black daisies become a heat sink. This was meant to support the Gaia theory of patterned organization on earth. It is just a side note and not significant compared to the big determinants listed above. I think it actually supports the El Nino explanation.

Over the past one million years the earth has had a succession of ice ages, each lasting for about 90,000 years followed by intergalcial warm periods of about 10,000 years. We are near the end of such a warm period now.
The last ice age ended 10,000 years ago, so……..???
