Of course not.

CO2 accounts for about 0.04% of the atmosphere, and it's a top contributor to the greenhouse effect, so 0.01% is actually pretty major.

This is your claim, not mine. If CO2 is a top contributor, as you claim, then why haven't temperatures increased by some significant margin, or relavent ratio?

You may recall that man made climate change was once called man made global warming.

They changed the name to climate change, because the warming trend was bogus, and indefensible.
