Your problem is that you have a shit ton of political activists who've moved into the scientific community and have created a ridiculous theory that CO2 raises temperatures
Carbon dioxide does absorb infrared radiation. When energy is absorbed by something it warms up, like backtop in the desert sun.
The question isn't whether carbon dioxide traps heat, the question is whether there are feedback loops to temper the effect. Does a warmer atmosphere make more clouds, which reflect more sunlight?
