Don’t be obtuse. CO2 is a IR active gas. The more there is in the atmosphere the more heat is retained.
Millions of years ago there was a lot more in the atmosphere than there is now. The planet was basically a giant algae pond. It absorbed the CO2 and after a massive die off sunk and was buried. Time, pressure, and heat turned it into petroleum.
We are literally pulling that CO2 back out of the ground and putting it back into the atmosphere. This heats up the planet and impacts climate and weather patterns. There is no denying that, the only debate is what we do about it.
