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, instead of carbon sinks naturally releasing CO2 when temperatures are warmer.
This shit is easy to track down the source of - most big names in the climate industry lean super far left and their solutions always require communism of some kind. Magically, Communist China doesn't have to follow the climate rules because they are already communist, and the goal of the whole grift is communism by stealth. Ask yourself why China, the world's largest polluter doesn't have to follow these rules? All roads in scientism lead to Beijing (and formerly, Moscow).

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?
