I agree with you regarding the trends and conditions around our planets climate. I’m not saying it is all be ing driven by CO2. I do think CO2 plays a roll as a feedback/greenhouse gas which regulates the earths temperature.The land configuration hasn't changed materially in the last 50 million years. Eruptions didn't play a part. Yes, the planet became bipolar glaciated but of course it was cooling for millions of years with elevated levels of CO2. Whatever conditions existed then exist today. The planet is in an interglacial period but the overall trend is for a cooling planet. Look at the oxygen isotope curve and tell me that isn't the trend.
It’s sounds like you understand the science and would agree with that as well. It’s just a matter of whether the human industrial effects that produce higher levels of CO2 in the atmosphere make a significant effect or not
