The problem with trying to separate the variables and just look at CO2 is that much of the data we have (other than data on the levels of CO2) is data about the combined results of all the variables.

In isolation we can clearly say that CO2 is a greenhouse gas, that higher concentrations of it will be a factor pushing warmer temperatures. But the levels of CO2 increases that are predicted would not cause a large degree of warming. To get that you need to consider the other factors, which could create such warming or which could result in colder temperatures in the future.
