While I hesitate to point to "mainstream" research in the covid-nonsense era, I have to say that I've got the education to understand it and observe it in the natural world. In this case, the mainstream research is in fact much more muted than reality -- particularly that compiled by the IPCC, due to the same corporate influence that's driving the covid narratives.

We're watching, in real time, the death of the biosphere. First time in recorded history that the salmon runs along the Yukon river failed, to the point that the state of Alaska is flying food in to feed communities who would otherwise starve.

At the same time, that seabird colonies in the Lofoten Islands of Norway -- which numbered in 10s of millions, have all but disappeared in the last 5 years.

A biologist acquaintance documented 10s of thousands of starving seabirds wash ashore in the Gulf of Alaska (circa 2015 or 2016) as sea temps there shot up by 15 degrees. Never been seen before.

At the same time, most of the sea-stars in Puget Sound died. Used to see them everywhere.

Where I grew up north of Seattle, I'd never seen smoke filled skies (born in 72). Since about 2016, several weeks of dangerous smoke levels have become the norm.

Last year, while my son visited family in that area (we've since moved to Michigan), record temps were smashed beyond belief. Places where I can't remember any temps over 95 recorded 116 degrees. Marine life in the intertidal zone (the heat coincided with a minus tide) literally cooked in their shells. The smell afterwards was quite nasty. Never seen that in my lifetime until now.

Last summer, I took my first vacation in 13 years. I'd purposely avoided long distance travel before then largely due to climate concerns. My wife and I paddled through a drought-stricken Boundary Waters Canoe Area in northern Minnesota. Fires were banned, and dead trees & vegetation were everywhere. The sun was obscured by smoke most of the time, from fires burning in Canada. A week after we got back, the entire area was closed to all entry -- also a first.

Most of the people I know simply shrug and avoid stringing these facts together, afraid of the implications. I don't.

So you're right -- there is not a "single proof that CO2 is a knob for climate and temperature changes". There are in fact many *thousands* of them -- some of which I helped to create when I worked with scientists doing this work (I was just an undergrad tech).
