The atmosphere should be thought of as a buffer soup. The ingredients are well known. The level of the common gases are Nitrogen-78%, Oxygen-21%, and Argon less than 1% followed by a greatly varying water vapor content. Carbon is way too small a factor to measure in percentages so it along with other gases are measured in PPM. To approach this non-sense by another perspective consider this. When is the last time anyone publicly exhibited a model demonstrating our present conditions (atmosphere vs temp)derived from the last 500, 300 or 100 years of known composition and temps to validate it's accuracy to any practical extent? Fact is, a few volcanoes spewing in unison will do what man could never imagine. Conversely, the lack of any volcanic activity will deplete
