Ok, but the amount we're emitting is still pretty tiny compared to natural sources. And natural emissions vary so much that our signal is lost in the noise. It wouldn't matter if we were importing the carbon from another universe, there's not enough of it to make us stand out from the natural variation in carbon emissions.
Plus we'd still need evidence that a tiny trace gas in the atmosphere can really command this kind of change. So far the climate record seems to be saying "sorry, carbon emissions just don't matter that much."
