I don't try to pretend that I know anything for a fact.
The problem is there's way too much information and misinformation on both sides of the coin which makes it hard to know who to believe, and one is left to basically pick a side.

It really is that simple.
The question posed is does a higher level of C02 trap more heat from an infrared source, and the answer is, without a doubt, yes.
This answer has almost nothing to do with the debate on man-made climate change vs non-man-made climate change, it has to do with the physical properties of a gas mixture that contains more CO2 vs one that doesn't.
