Yes:
o The world has been getting warmer since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution.
The world started getting warmer a lot earlier than that....and then cooler...and then warmer in starts and stops with an overall warming trend...that is part and parcel of coming out of an ice age.
o That warming has been caused almost entirely by the greenhouse effect acting on human CO2 emissions coming from the combustion of fossil fuels (coal, petroleum, natural gas) and by human deforestation of the planet's green spaces.
Considering that the warming, in fact, started a long long time before the industrial revolution...or industry at all, what caused that warming...and can you prove that what we are experiencing now is not just more of the same?
The rest is just religious dogma and handwaving so I am ignoring it...none of the effects you name can be laid at the feet of CO2 since none of them are unprecedented and happened regularly back when CO2 was considered "safe".
