Yes I would argue they aren't denying CO2. They are saying that humans have been doing massive changes to global-scale systems for a while now. That mean they are trying to say that the simple chemical property of increased CO2 in the atmosphere increases heat retention isn't false, or that humans aren't doing it. I'd say it's more akin to them warning there may be more insidious or less-well-understood dangers to hu…

Agreed, that is a pretty straightforward danger.

But just because that is a simple and direct danger, does that mean that mass extinction isn't killing off "key cog" species in more complicated critical machinery?
