You're confusing "O&G | Koch Bro's stooges" with "Scientists".
The notion of human activity affecting the atmosphere dates back more than a century, the real concern that industrial activity was having a detrimental effect became real in the 1970s .. and the pro Tobacco and pro Oil and Gas lobbying dates back to the same core PR agencies using the same tired "person in a white coat" arguments.
The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) raised human activity affecting climate as a real and present danger in the mid to late 1970s, the International Panel on Climate Change was established in 1988, etc.
Scientists had a firm grasp of the problem four decades ago and understood that the heat capacity of CO2 exceeded that of other gases .. they understood the relative scales and how little it took to tip a balance.
In a similar manner geophysicts understand the scale of global energy held in rotation, in internal heat, in GMF, and the history of crustal fission reactors versus core fission et al.
