There is a growing body of empirical and scientific evidence that CO2 cannot and does not cause warming in our atmosphere in any significant manner.
Venus disagrees.
Its gaseous envelope is composed of more than 96 percent carbon dioxide and 3.5 percent molecular nitrogen. Trace amounts of other gases are present, including carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, water vapour, argon, and helium

It's quite warm there , a balmy 867°F (464°C).

I agree, but new ideas come all the time. Maybe one day someone will find a way to make a car run on water, and not die immediately after.

Back in the 90's, I had a Sharper Image catalog that featured levitating shoes for $300 that claimed to use nuclear powered batteries that never needed to be replaced.
They were said to be one size fits all, which I thought was odd for shoes.
On the subject of the effects of CO2 on the global temperature, I think we should also be looking at the effects of oxygen on global temperatures, since an increase in plant life on Earth, increases oxygen while decreasing CO2.
Rather than focusing on reducing CO2, maybe we should be focusing on converting it into oxygen by restoring, or at least protecting, our rainforests and oceans.

..they care about one thing and one thing only.....
The green that flows from our pockets into theirs.
I would say it's really about exercising more power and control over all of us. With electricity they can track your habits and shut you off with the flick of a switch.

The problem is, so far every alternative solution comes with its own set of unpleasant environmental consequences (no matter how hard TPTB try to hide them).

I know a guy who along with some of his friends designed a fuel system that could burn water combined with a little organic matter. He and his friends sold this patent to Briggs and stratton I think and nothing was ever done by Briggs with that technology. They could not get approval from the government to use the engine in cars because the government said that there is no way to know how much or what organic compounds are in the water because there was no way to control consistancy. They took the car down to DC...drove it actually...but they could not get approval in the USA. Now, they can run that car all day long in a tight garage and it didn't seem to bother anyone...no carbon monoxide. The thing will run off of water out of a pond, but not pure clean water from the tap. Very little organic compounds are in the water, a glass per tank. He still has the car, Briggs just bought the patent and buried it I guess.
Everyone is still alive. I could have gotten a copy of the patent and of how to adapt the engine for this. It does use a special made catalytic converter plus it has to be started on gas till the converter gets hot to vaporize the mixture. I should have brought it home and studied it to see exactly how it works, but I figured I would wait a while...that was ten years ago. I should go get it and copy the plans before he dies. They got a million bucks for that, which he was disappointed that they did not get ten times that...they split it five ways...all mechanics and owners of junk yards/body shops and one engineer friend developed this from combining their knowledges. He told me it is patented and I cannot design anything for sale out of that kind of technology, but I could make my own if I wanted to build one. One drawback, antifreeze in the water won't work, the water can freeze in the gas tank and in the fuel lines. Can only use it three months a year around here.

Yeah well, how do you factor out the fact that Venus is a lot closer to the Sun, to be able to measure the difference that CO2 amounts account for?
