#1- false, as far as the time scale we're talking about


The rate of change (the time derivative of temperature) is greater than it has ever been over millennia. So no, the climate is not always changing when we talk about the changes we are experiencing.

#2- also false. We 100% know that CO2 causes the Earth to warm. The physics here is just really simple. I have taught this to my students and it takes like half an hour to cover the basics. We can even get the change in temperature right for the amount of CO2 we've put into the atmosphere. It's a back of the envelope calculation. Everything else about climate change flows downhill from the fact that the Earth is hotter than it used to be and we have made it that way. We really are "controlling the weather."

#3-#5 are again about proposed solutions. My point was that your opinions on those is causing you to say things that are simply untrue about #1 and #2. You make a bunch of errors about both the solutions proposed and the actions that are being taken, but that's neither here nor there.
