I hear  you, is carbon dioxide responsible for global warming? Yes it is, it is not the only factor but its been the determinate of temperature for some time. And maybe not entirely how you think it is doing that.

Carbon dioxide is the chemical residue that is produced by the burning of carbon. Adding oxygen in two parts to the carbon through burning or the laws of thermal dynamics  will give that gas into the atmosphere where it can be taken up by plants and the two parts of oxygen are given off back into the atmosphere in photosynthesis .  Then we breath that oxygen and burn carbon in our cells when eating and by the delivery by blood.  Carbon dioxide is then taken back to our lungs expelled and available to plants.

So these processes are balanced by environment, the animals that take in and breath it out are  tuned by nature to the quantities of both CO2 and oxygen. So when PPM gets out of ballance species  go extinct and a transition driven.

So, unfortunately humans in these transitions may have to live with extremafiles for longer then they can possibly survive.

So lets look at an analogy, say the united human race party expelled a member into the environment that environment was in flux, lets call it an election mandate. That creature would have to adapt to different oxygen levels in the rooms that the party gathered in, however the community of extremafiles there-with would mitigate the transition and seek carbon that they were able to burn at their metabolic pleasure. Thus allowing the former UHR member to transition and that maybe in only few generations!

Call them election cycles, however if too much CO2 goes into the ocean environment ( call it the federal government ) Then more heat is not mitigated by cool water, lets call it government deficit spending,then the UHR guy has a real problem the environment is changing quicker then he can adapt and he faces extinction. If he is the only one left and to far out in the ocean to make it back to where the othes are hanging on in a pocket reserve, he is done.

His only hope is that a raft happens by and he migrates, And chance helps him, This spooky action is a coalition.

Then if to much coal is motioned the CO2 grandstands and thats it; extinction is inevitable.

Wait, one eon, some thermal vents interact with some UHR DNA, lets call it a research grant.It is in a isolated back committee room. Lets call that an abandoned caucus room.

Lets call that an independent movement to natural selection by adaptation… slim pickings!

Yes, CO2 changes the climate!
