Increase the amount of CO2 by some arbitrary amount. That causes the temperature to rise by some amount. That means the air can hold more moisture. That cause the temperature to go up. That means the air can hold more moisture...

Round and round. This is known as a "positive feedback cycle". Eventually it dampens out. But if you keep increasing the amount of CO2, it never reaches equilibrium.

It can be complicated. You might want to do a little research to gain understanding. You also might want to look into the dangers of positive feedback. Some other important topics, methane, methane chlathrates, temperature.

All great In Situ theory, which - again in situ - can easily be confirmed in school during the physics lessons. Got the point, it does indeed prove you went to school and understand - like most of us do with a higher education - the behaviour incl. feed-back et al at a micro level.

Extrapolating these school room facts to global levels assuming full linearity for facts and theories, is the dumbest thing ever could be pushed through at a Global level and all the way up to (Norwegian) Nobel Price level, is the most amazing Global Level sham of our times.

This would also reduce the concentration of all other gases, no? Ironically the heat capacity of N2 and O2 are greater than CO2 so as you increase CO2 concentration the N2 and O2 concentrations drop and the atmosphere's ability to contain heat reduces which would result in a temperature drop. The inconvenient truth...
