Hi,
There are a number of logical inconsistences here:

This is better than the warming deniers of a couple of years ago who used to 'cherry pick' data to prove there was no global warming. A local university professor used the Huntsville Airport temperature data while neglecting to point out the airport relocated from S. Huntsville, a heat island, to the cotton fields six miles out of town.

The carbon being released comes from the 'Dinosaurs' and what they ate. It is the organic material that was captured into large coal, oil and some gas reserves. We are simply releasing what had previsouly been stored.

Ice age is not the issue.

A mountain range grew and started squeezing out the water.

Carbon Dioxide is 0.04% of the atmosphere. Go ahead.... double that amount ( jeepers creepers! ) which is actually impossible, and we'll all end up living with 0.08% carbon dioxide. Wow. Not very impressive.
And one very real possibility is, more CO2 = more clouds = cooler temperatures at the surface of the Earth. The earth is a living thing. It's very good at compensating, and self-regulating. I used to be worried. Then I studied up on the subject. No longer worried.

Actually it doesn't matter since the experiment is in full swing. Folks living in low lying areas, a significant part of the world's human population, have a problem. They may find their property titles 'under water.'
