a few million years ago, the earth wasn't the same as it is today. for all we know it was probably uninhabitable by humans. we don't live a few million years ago, we live right now. there were periods of time where there was no oxygen in the atmosphere, does that mean the earth was "fine" back then? it certainly wasn't fine for humans to be living back then.

I know very well humans weren't around back than, but other life was. If 10 times the CO2 level increased the temperature at the rate the global warmists say it will, then the temperature would have been too hot for most, if not all, life back then. Well, that didn't happen. So, at least their rate of temperature increase is incorrect.
Also, from the late 1800s to the 1930s the temperature increased to the point that the 1930s is warmest is the 100 years, probably the warmest since the medieval warm period, which was as warm, if not warmer, than today. The rate of CO2 increase was very small since man had yet entered the industrial revolution full steam and there were relatively few cars then. The significant increase in CO2 really took off after WW2. But, in the 1960s and 70s the temperature starting dropping to the point there was a global cooling scare. How do you explain that with the rapid increase in CO2? The low point was 1979. Then, temperature increased again until 1998 with a spike up in that year. After that the temperatures went up and down, average little change until a spike in 2012 and again in 2016. Since 2016, temperatures have been more or less decreasing on average.
If the little increase in CO2 that occurred prior to WW2 caused the late 1800s to 1930s increase in temperature, then the temperature should be much warmer now than back then due the rapid increase of CO2 after WW2. But, it's not. This is why the models are always wrong. They give CO2 much more weight in their formulas than it should.
