You are missing the point. While atmospheric CO2 concentration is ~0.04% the remainder of gases account for 99.96%.

So?

Add up the heat capacities of N2, O2, Ar and even CO2 and double the concentration of CO2 and the temperature rise is insignificant.

Define 'insignificant'. Granted, it is only a couple of degrees celsius. But that is significant.

Try considering the thermal conductivity of CO2 which is lower than N2 and O2 (ie air)..... eg if you add more insulation in your attic less heat will escape.......not so?
