I see your point, and to paraphrase how I am reading it; what you are saying is that because the anti-CO2 people have a single theory, then it must be correct. (I realize that is far more general and blunt that how you state it.) But is it not possible that there are
several things causing climate change, and that CO2 levels may just be one small piece of the puzzle? What I am saying; as many good scientists will also tell you, that there is more that is unknown about the nature of the universe than what is currently known.
What I object to is (and this isn't pointed at you) people who tell me that I am wrong to question what I hear, because the majority has spoken.
It would be interesting to go forward in time 200 years to see what the actual cause(s) was/were. Who knows, it could be cell phones. (And other sources of radio frequency devices.) It could be the use of nuclear devices. It could just be solar activity; or even extra solar activity.
