"CO2 doesn't have a powerful enough greenhouse effect to increase the temperature to a very significant degree unless we added a lot more of it than we are likely to add."

You have any quantitative information .....like heat capacity or thermal conductivity, ie insulating properties....

"CO2 could cause a slight melting of polar ice which causing the Earth's albedo to decrease"

Have you seen satellite photos of the polar ice caps????
Small effect? It has been reported that the amount of water vapor in the air has increased 4% due to the warmer water and increased surface area.....what do you suppose is the effect of more moisture in the air.?? More rain, more snow?????
