CO2 isn't the only thing that can and does contribute to climate, just one of the possible gasses that can, and currently is contributing.

Sure. But, if the point of de-carbonizing is to stop extreme weather altogether, we're not going to achieve that, ever.

It's also not going to stop meteor strikes, but fortunately no one has ever suggested that was the purpose of decarbonization.

I mean, if stopping extreme weather isn’t the point of decarbonization, what is the point?

Reducing it, ideally to pre-industrial norms. Stopping extreme weather is obviously impossible, and so obviously so that it's bizarre you're even trying to prop it up as a strawman.

Not stop in this instance but rather not contribute to.
