Nonsense, you are attributing powers to a trace gas, CO2, that is insignificant by definition and a poor absorber of IR energy from the sun compared to water vapor that has 200 times as many molcules with each absorbing seven times as much energy for a net effect more than 1400 times that of CO2! Or you can say “Water vapor is responsible for 99.9% of all atmospheric heating.”
Carbon is 84% of all petroleum and fossil fuel. The control and taxing of carbon is the key to more political, economic taxing power than anything that has happened in 800 years, the signing of the Magna Carta. But, where that was the key to freedom for the people this is the way to the concentration of power in the wrong hands. It is just that simple. Check the science and you will see.
