I live in Minnesota, where it routinely drops below freezing in winter and tops 100 degrees sometime during summer. That's a 100 degree change over about 6 months. Life survives. Yet, a one or two degree change spread over 100 years is supposed to be disastrous?
Carbon dioxide, a naturally occurring form of carbon in a carbon-based world, is required for all plant life (trees, grass, plants, vegetables, algae, etc.) Yet it comprises just one half of one tenth of one percent of the atmosphere. That means, for every 2,500 parts in the atmosphere, only ONE is CO2. And that is supposed to be too much, to the point of trapping heat and causing calamity?
People need to think just a little bit.

Just for fun I had to look it up.
Minnesota Hottest day on record is 115 F Coldest day on record -60 F 175 degree difference.
South Dakota Hottest day on record is 120 F Coldest day on record -58 F 178 degree difference.
Seems like we get some extremes at both places.
