it did or not is not relevent. Co2 makes climate warmer. There are still local conditions that influence climat, that will never change. Co2 is one of them, and it is an increasingly deadly one.

The UN IPCC has not provided any proofs. They also didn't do a meta-analysis of other peoples' data. What they did do is a literature review. One of the problems with their review is that they included papers written by people working for the IPCC (something like circular reasoning.) They also averaged the outputs of 5 climate models,none of which have been proofed or agree with each other with any degree of precision.
The comments during the review process have been placed online:

I looked at the last link. It is a window af years that include an las ninas year as the last year. Directly said, it is manipulative and have been done this way to intentionaly misslead readers into thinking that the earth is not warming. Very sad that some people do some acts of hate against other human, I guess this will never stop, there will always be extreme in hatred, no morale whatsoever.

How does CO2 make the climate warmer? The IR theory has been extinguished due to the fact all the IR due to radiative forcing is absorbed within 10 meters. If you up the amount of CO2 you just shorten the distance in which all IR is captured.
If you reduce the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere you'll kill a lot of plant life and a lot of marine life.
The seas are highly alkaline, CO2 reduces the pH of the ocean water making it livable for flora and fauna. They make their shells oout of it, their homes, they use it for food, we use it as limestone to built beautiful things.
AGW is a farce. If you disagree, prove it and I'll show you where you're wrong.
After all, I have 37000 scientists on my side. You have about 400.
