Carbon dioxide is ~5 parts per 10,000 of air. Does your judgment tell you that can change climate? It also remains about constant because of the cycle with plants. Other reasons: Objective worldwide temperature data shows no increase. Ocean levels are not rising.

consider this from a former Captain w/ 40 years flying experience ..."Temperature drops with altitude at the rate of 2 degrees C per 1000 ft. This 'lapse rate' is a function of Boyle's Law and can not change. This drop continues up though the troposphere,to the base of the statosphere in which the temperature is ALWAYS -57 C (at least since we've been able to get up there to measure it.)
The base of the statosphere is called the tropopause and being basically a world wide inversion is a level of heavy tubulence that pilots want to avoid.
Consequently the altitude of the 'trope' is measured HOURLY at sites world wide and printed out for every waypoint on flight plans so pilots can fly above or below it.
In 1965 when Walt began to fly the altitude of the trope was 36,089 feet. Today....it is 36,089 feet--it hasn't budged in 42 years!
If the surface temps had warmed that level should be higher as it would take more altitude to get down to -57C.
Also consider that 100 years ago, orders were growing in southern GA. Today the center of the orange growing activity is over 200 miles further south. Citrus growers know why. The recorded data shows a steadily cooler climate with deastating northern and mid-Florida freezes since the 1980s.

It doesn't become global warming until spring and summer. The rest of the time, global cooling is the killer that you should be flailing your arms in panic over.

If we only had global cooling and never had global warming, it wouldn't be long we would be a big ball of ice.

there are not many of those
there are much more reasons as to why it is
some home truths
politicians and scientists who work for politicians have downplayed the facts because solutions are expensive and means change and change effects many people income,and most of the world is kept in the dark of the real things that are going on.
: i have seen lands that have been turned from jungle into desserts by people in a matter of a couple of years ,because of the slash and burn method used by settlers and expanding agriculture,and i have seen rivers dry up because of deforrestation in many places in Africa and Mexico ,
i live now by the side of a river in Mexico where,in 30 years 5 species of fish have become exstinct .
and part of the year the river is dry this is for longer every year because of over use of water by agriculture and as a result of deforrestation.
there are natural cycles in the planets life
but a lot is influenced by mans existance ,and this is increasing with overpopulation,putting strains on Natural resources and increasing contaminations as well as destructions of essential componants the ensure living conditions for all life forms
in North Africa,India,Mexico ,millions of people are effected by land loss and desertification
in recent times thousands of people have died because of exessive heat,usually old people.in India ,Mexico and France,
deforestation causing desertification,the desert conditions causing very cold nights and scorching hot days
in china, thousands of what used to be farmers are running for their lives from the dust storms that have burried their towns and turned their lands into dessert,the globe where they were got to hot for them .
and instead of producing food they are now needing it from some where else,and they will drastically effect the world food prices when they start buying water in the form of grains ,at any cost destabalising governments, in some countries ,could be the result
(are you seeing more Chinese around interested in agricultural lands ,we do here in Mexico)
,the Sahara is growing by 7 kilometers a year
and all of the desserts we know are a results of mans actions ,and they are increasing ,not getting less ,in the dinosaurs days ,there were no desserts.
collectively this planet is drying up because of bad farming practices like,over grazing and fertilizers,
as far as the food production is concerned, Global warming or some of its effects are serious,rising seas result in landloss
each degree rise in temperature means 10%crop loss
more landloss because of desertification every year,we have less areble land to produce food ,for an extra 70 million people ,
and there is less and less water (because of deforestation),to irrigate this production ,
and there are less and less farmers to do it..
who are overpumping deep carbon aquifiers
who are plowing more and more unstable lands because they have lost so many million hectares to desertification ,
because of bad farming practises ,such as using fertilizers and heavy machinary or over grazing
RISING SEAS
The northpole is melting ,and we will know it without ice in our life times.
this does not affect the sea level because it is ice that is already in the water.but the melting ice from Green land and the south pole ,are another matter.
