Regarding CO2, I have been reading that further increases in CO2 concentration with have smaller effects on global warming

Nope

It's directly proportional.

Edit:

SO2 is a different animal.

Volcanoes are peanuts in CO2:

Volcanos don't change the physics of water.

"particulates can seed clouds"
That doesn't change water vapor pressure.

Water - Saturation Pressure vs. Temperature

The Engineering ToolBox

Online calculator, figures and tables with water saturation (vapor) pressure at temperatures ranging 0 to 370 °C (32 to 700°F) - in Imperial and SI Units.

Like this?

Infrared Radiation and Planetary Temperature

Ångström claimed that IR absorption by CO2 was saturated in the sense that, for those wavelengths CO2 could absorb at all, the CO2 already present in Earth's atmosphere was absorbing essentially all of the IR.

I think just treating water as a neutral multiplier is probably incorrect.

The average concentration of H20 in the atmosphere is ~50x that of CO2, has a similar heat capacity to CO2 and absorbs incalculably greater IR radiation. That's why models ignore it as the arguments fall apart when it is included.
