I do believe there is a manmade component to CO2 having some effect on the planet’s climate. It is part of the larger natural cycle that has been going on since the earth had an atmosphere. Does that mean we are destroying the planet? Almost certainly not. Republicans may now all deny it completely for political reasons, but they are closer to the truth than the left on the impact of all of this. The most sensible advice came from the late Michael Crichton (who was a skeptic on the Chicken Little arguments being made). Improve economic conditions around the world and people will use less carbon. Technology is moving towards that all on its own. Spending trillions on a problem that does not really exist is insane and actually creates more rather than less carbon since it hampers economic growth.
