People use models to try to nail down the details, not to see whether climate change from CO2 emissions is a real thing. That's well established by physics and geological history. A good presentation of this evidence is in a couple chapters of Hansen's Storms of My Grandchildren.

Could you point me to the academic, empirical research that quantifies the influence of CO2 on climate? Not a book, but from an academic publication.

Assuming that you asking honestly, and not just trying to derail the conversation...

Start here: https://skepticalscience.com/empirical-evidence-for-co2-enha...

Then proceed to intermediate and advanced. There are a TON of citations for your perusal. After your are done with that, the comments have some additional insights.

Have fun. This is quite the rabbit hole to dive into.

Skeptical Science is not an academic publication. It's a blog.

What was the CO2 ppm in the early Holocene? Why was the early Holocene so much warmer than today in spite of lower CO2 concentrations?

Early Holocene Temperature Oscillations Exceed Amplitude of Observed and Projected Warming in Svalbard Lakes

> There are a TON of citations

Here's one of them from that page, chosen at random: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.5589/m04-044

A blog page linking a bunch of academic papers is as good as a hackernews comment linking a bunch of academic papers.

Your linked paper is about arctic temperatures, not global average temperatures.
