There has been some nominal global warming in the past 150 years or so. Well within cyclical variations, though. There's been no legitimate evidence to show relationship with CO2 causing global warming, let alone anthropogenic CO2. your question is probably a good way to state it. But I want to bring in the words "swindle", "scam", or "fraud". Considering the billions that have already been made on this and the potential trillions that would be made on this, it is unprecedented in the scale of the fraud.

From everything I've read, I think its fair to say the world has been in an overall warming trend since the trough of the Little Ice Age. I'd go further and say its reasonable to think CO2 from fossil fuels may have contributed a minor amount to that warming as has deforestation. However, imo there's good evidence the impact of CO2 increases has been and will be minor and unimportant. IOW global warming in the past couple centuries, sure, its natural and caused by forces greater than us. Man-made global warming? Very unlikely to be big enough to worry about.

We don't know there is no global warming; for all we know, there might be The planet is always warming or cooling. The question is, what causes it? The evidence that we cause it is very weak. The chances that we can do anything about it are zilch.
